Have any of you seen any benefit from using a Creative Commons license for your writing? Has anyone seen anything positive come out of it?
The licenses seem to appeal to our more idealistic side, valuing openness, transparency, and all that great free-as-in-speech stuff that so many hackers love. But if the end result is just a bunch of books and websites where the publisher doesn't have to pay the author then Creative Commons licensing is a pointless exercise.
