And again, it’s entirely possible to elect a CC license that significantly limits a user’s prerogatives in using the licensed material.

Exactly. As much as I like the idea of CC being carrier of thoughts regarding sharing and knowledge exchange, the original purpose remains; to make clear _how_ content is to be treated. CC doesn't equal "anything goes" at all. Unless you wan't it to :) Actually, I think I heard of CC for the first time on Kaliber10000 (www.k10k.net) in a post on how to prevent people from stealing commercial work of independent graphic artists. Which, in my opinion, is just as important as sharing all sorts of different content. It's actually pretty simple: Some stuff is just ideas, which should be shared if you feel like it -- while there's no point in everyone stealing work I intended to make a living of. And there's a CC license in there to fit all needs. Sweet...
