Hi Kim ... Not sure. I don't have any detail of what CC will be doing. The FSF have taken lead here from what I can see by providing an alternative to license derivative works as CC-BY-SA. I'm not sure if there will be reverse compatibility between the 2 licenses.
I would hope that CC would include a similar clause to enable derivatives of CC-BY-SA to be licensed under the proposes GFDL license. That would communicate a strong message of "share similarly". Perhaps they're thinking along these lines already. Does anyone know? On the issue of multiple licensing -- I think that the free knowledge community should work together in keeping the number of license alternatives to a minimum. Sadly many OER projects and new websites develop their own customised licenses and in my view this is counter productive -- especially when thinking about peer production models. I would hazard a guess that the majority of teachers don't really care about the idiosyncrasies of licensing. Unfortunately are are living with a legacy of copyright in education ..;-( On this note I think that the issues around ownership of knowledge should be compulsory learning for all student teachers!
