I think we should make a real effort to explain the pros and cons of the
various CC licenses and what they actually mean for copyright holders and
re-users. I think many choices of licenses like NC are born out of a lack of
understanding, and people might be more receptive to CC-By-SA if they
understood it better.
I could be wrong, but that's my general impression.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Livetweeting the Battle of Arras (1917)
Just a note for the World War I buffs amongst you - there's quite an
interesting plan by Oxford University to crowdsource a livetweet of the Battle
of Arras. More info here: http://ww1centenary.oucs.ox.ac.uk/?p=253
I'm planning to take part and other Wikimedians would be very welcome.
You might notice that the organisers have taken a licensing approach of putting
the eventual resource they are creating from this initiative under CC-BY-NC,
but nevertheless encouraging participants to digitise their own materials and
put them on Commons. So that's 50% right ;-)
Chris
