I think that you should reconsider the talk publishing policy. There are a few things that cause bad vibes and it's not really necessary: * By submitting a talk and not excluding its use from the policy, the speaker is to implicitly declare compliance with the policy. This feels a lot like shrink-wrapped licenses and is not really in the spirit of Python or EuroPython (and I'm sure, it's not intended to feel that way). * Licensing a talk under the proposed CC license prevents any control over how the talk recording is used. People will not necessarily like their talks to appear on YouTube or elsewhere with no possibly to take them down again. Many EPC speakers have put their talks up online in the past, so there's no need to policy them into doing so. Recording talks is nice (I plan to do that again for my talk(s) like I did last year), but how the recording is used should really be in realm of the speaker and not be freed in the proposed way. I think it would be better to make the recording opt-in rather than opt-out and there shouldn't be a specific license on it - after all, the speaker owns the copyright, even if someone else records the talk.
