Hey guys - let's figure out what we want to do about CC liscensing soon -
Lessig has offered his staff to help us work through the issues.
I think the latest agreement i heard was an "opt out" forced CC liscence
in the user preferences?
What are everyones latest thoughts?
-Zack

If Bush vetoes, it would be wonderful. Yes, that will become a huge issue.
Let's only hope.
Let me know when we can talk about the uploading/embedding stuff. I'm cc-ing
(so to speak) the cc staff. We'd be eager to help make it simple for people
to choose licenses for uploads. Ideally (as in MT) by setting it in their
preferences.
