(The 2/3-term BSD license meant to do basically the same, but it used
more words to do the same. The old 4-term BSD license included some
terms to make University of California benefit from advertising, if
there was going to be any.)
I have been generating midi, ogg, pdf, and mp3 files of some old,
out-of-copyright music. I have been releasing them and the source that
generates them under the Creative Commons license.
Do you recommend the 3 term BSD license for this particular use instead?
Or would the 2 term one be better?

Please avoid using that creativecommons bullshit for anything -- it it
tries to hide the fundamentals and simplicity of basic copyright law
behind the massive complexity of US-centric contract law and the
various terminology normally tied to tit for tat. In the end,
creativecommons licenses will only ever truly benefit one group of
people on this planet: The lawyers.

And that is exactly what creativecommons tries to do. 2300 words to
say "you must say I wrote it"? There is only one reason it could take
2300 words: The goal is to deceive.
Amen brother. Tell it like it is.
