Does anyone remember why "CC BY SA" was not chosen over the OPL when we went through all this a few years ago? Is this just all part of the Creative Commons marketing effort? An effort that is failing for me, the idea of a "CC" license is diluted and confused by all the different options. It seems today everyone has to have a (CC) license, soon to become the "Members Only" jacket of the early 80's?
