this came up recently for me

do i want a text link? how big? where placed?

one question that arises:

would you consider the link to your content as sufficient "attribution" or is this a separate link to your site?

For attribution on the web a link back is usually considered appropriate.
In print media, often its a byline of some kind.

Until then, if you release your work under a CC license, you might as
well outline what you think it means, as I've attempted to do here:

It's the lightnet thing to do. :)
        
That aproach devaluates the whole concept of Creative Commons. The goal
with CC is (among other things) to have a shared set of licenses, making
it *easy* for people to see exactly what they can and cannot do with your
content. If everyone went and wrote up a usage page saying "this is CC
licensed, but it's CC licensed under this interpretation I've written
below" we would be back to square one.

Use a CC license if you agree with what the license says. If not don't say
"CC licensed... in my interpretation", just write up guidelines without
mentioning Creative Commons.

licensor.

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/

But the problem is, almost no author/licensor specify anything in this
regard. So how are you supposed to do what they ask? That's why I
outlined the attribution part.

As for the commercial, bit. Won't it ultimately be up to a court to
decide what something like "commercial use" is? I was attempting to
define what I consider "commercial use" so that you would know if I had
a problem with what you planned to do.

Even the CC folks don't seem to be sure what NonCommercial means:

"So the topic of what constitutes a "noncommercial use" under those
Creative Commons licenses that contain the NonCommercial license option
has been a perennial source of debate over the years"

I think I worded it badly when I wrote: "you might as well outline what
you think it means" in this case. I was not trying to redefine what a CC
license is, only clarify what *I* think it means.
