I'm working on the CC license. I believe that with MyHeavy we're going to go to a system in which they don't aggregate anything that's been marked with a non-commercial CC license. This is still up to some discusison, though, since we will be offering blip.tv users the ability to opt in or out of their aggregation individually. They're very interested in displaying the appropriate CC license on the page, and we're working with them to make this happen.
