Actually it's a sign of the way things are going! There are lots of people
in "digital engagement" jobs who are themselves quite signed up to the idea
of open knowledge, aided by bodies like JISC and Europeana which insist on
/ encourage various levels of openness.

So often I think we end up talking to people whose institutions are
cautious about losing the NC bit of CC-BY-NC, and we can help them win
their internal arguments within those institutions by proving that if they
release material on CC-BY-SA there will be high-impact uses of it...
