My main concern with that is the confusing "anti-TPM" language in 4a/4b which may or may not prevent some uses. See http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/ip/20061115-00.html for an illustration of the confusion. > I guess the major concern I have here is: > "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly > digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and > You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, > this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You > distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally > perform.

For a licence the size of CC ones, that would be a possible way to prevent certain uses, like the FDL may[*] prevent use for reference cards. ([*] - not proven. RMS thinks there may be a way around it, others are sceptical.) I'd really much prefer a simpler licence like the BSD-style one previously suggested.
