The DRM/TPM-ban is a more serious problem, but I'm so sick of being
told that CC licences don't mean what the words mean that I've largely
given up suggesting that CC-by and CC-SA should be useful for free
software. The generic licences are too complicated for most uses and
the area licences all have different features and potential bugs.

The bouncing-email-consultations and the text-in-PDF replies made it
difficult, but when debates get to the level of "It depends on what
the meaning of the word 'is' is" (see the non-commercial confusion for
another example), I give up.  I suspect that the response of CC to any
controversial issue would be to fudge, rather than lead debate towards
any consensus.  If someone wants to test that theory, go try to get an
anti-fascist clause into 3.1.

However, FDL-1.2 was special-cased into debian, so maybe CC 3.0 will
be too, or maybe the DRM/TPM-ban isn't a DRM/TPM-ban after all, like
the DReaM people seemed to think.

Bah!
