In order from most restrictive to least...

.C-SPAN's own programming (Washington Journal, BookTV) is ©.
.C-SPAN's coverage of official gov't proceedings (commitee hearings, commissions, etc.) is made with their camera and cameramen; they license this CC-NC. .C-SPAN's rebroadcast of public domain (by virtue of it being a Work of the US Gov't) House and Senate floor proceedings remains Public Domain. We have many thousands of hours of this stuff searchable at metavid.org and uploaded at broadcast resolution to archive.org.

Peace,
Aphid

Can a second pair of eyes help me out?

    One thing I'm not so happy about with this is that all of the
    video that
    Carl Malamud posts is now indicated that it is CC:BY. It is
    plainly not.
    The video that Carl posts (under the username PublicResource.Org) is
    public domain material from the US Government that is simply digitized
    (thus no new copyrightable aspects, thus not able to be CC
    licensed as CC
    licenses depend on copyright to work).

    I just asked Carl this very question on Twitter, we'll see if he
    responds.
