Could you be a little more specific on this?  I've always found CC.org to be 
very approachable, and their contributers *are* attorneys, so I would tend to 
think they know what they're talking about.

CC would have the advantage of being the most popular non-code set of 
licenses, and thus help us on license compatibility more than any other.
