PS: I threw this recipe up on the wiki: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Recipe:_CC_license_lecture_videos
I'll iterate on it as I try it out at my school. I encourage other chapters to help out and try it out as well (especially after we fill in the hole in the waiver part). Also, has anyone else started including a CC license statement at the end of papers that they hand in? Exams are starting up soon--do it! Report back with any interesting reactions or just give us a shout saying you did!
