I'm a strong believer in the value of licenses like Creative Commons, and I
take them seriously. If there is no way to continue the Oh No news without
violating the license, then as much as I love it, I would vote to stop it.
Is there absolutely no way of continuing it without a license violation,
Sure, post it.

On Sat,
I think you are misstating the issue at hand. I don't think anyone had
any problem with the content, or at least I haven't heard anyone make
that claim. If Chris and Martin had recorded exactly the same shows as

I would think there are two problems here, potentially. First, if your
plan amounts to having HPR host your own podcast, obviously that is
wrong. But we also ask that people do not post more than once every
two weeks. You may note that I have adhered to this pretty strictly
unless there is an
