No idea if this is a capable license.  IMO all of the CC licenses are
capable.  No one should take my word for it, consult a lawyer if it
matters to you.

In a nutshell what "derivative" means is kind of tricky.  Using some
piece of music as theme music for a podcast is generally regarded as
being a derivative work.  A good policy is that if you have to ask, just
don't do it.

In general, the FAQ (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FFAQ) answers a lot
of questions.

I would check out the Creative Commons.  They have a number of licences
that cover a variety of situations.

For everyone else:

The CC site has a handy utility for helping you to choose a license:
http://creativecommons.org/choose/

I use CC licenses for just this sort of thing.

AFAIK, the CC of licenses are capable.  Consult a lawyer if in doubt.
