For example, I tend to release alot of the software I write under the GNU GPL. (It's a copyleft license used that's used for Free and Open Source software.) I don't make any money off of it. But I choose to make it Free anyways. (I choose to do this because I believe it helps people.)
Or better yet, think of Wikipedia. (I contribute to that too.) It's licensed in a Free way (using a copyleft license). They don't make any money off of it. But they have to pay for the bandwidth they use. (There's even videos on there too.)
Many many other re-host their content. (And they're Free to do that.) And embedded within Wikipedia there is all sorts of data on licensing and copyright (on every piece of text, every image, every video, etc). Software can then automatically tell what "permissions", "requirements", and "restrictions" is has with everything and anything in Wikipedia.
I wonder about some humans :-)
I think if we accept that the author's wishes can be expressed in a license, then we can automate it. (Just look a Wikipedia for an example.)
:-D

...if you're getting thousands of requests per day and you're *not*
making money, then why not? ;)

And to automate, we have to hand over some of our decision-making
abilities to software. Of course, the problem with that (currently)
is the stupidity of software when it comes to context. Only humans
can properly decide context,
I wonder about some humans :-)
and only a question to one will elicit
an answer that you can guarantee fits their wishes. We're kind of
entering Turing-test territory - somewhere that no doubt the CC folks
have gone and an issue they have pondered long and hard.
