My choice is to require all people who sign up using our code to concede all
rights to their material to a Creative Commons share alike attribution
liscense. (or they we could give htem a couple other options for different CC
liscenses).
I think we want to stay clear of -forcing- people to licence their content in a particular way. However, I do think we can "highly recommend" a particular licence, as well as making it the default (and opt-out situation). We also must explain to people why we are doing this; most normal folks don't understand copyright issues.
Perhaps licencing information needs to be a part of our RSS syndication? E.g. Should some Site decide not to release their content as CC (for whatever reason) such content would be flagged and far less likely to be syndicated. People need to be free to shoot themselves in the foot from time to time.
