Nick Freear has a new post on why Creative Commons licenses shouldn’t be used for software. From the post:
The short answer is, if you use a Creative Commons License your software probably won’t be free software/ open source software, and therefore won’t be re-usable by others including developers (which is what you want right?)

Matt Liebenson has a new post noting two cases, one in Belgium and one Israel, that found in favor of Creative Commons licenses. From the post:
These cases together highlight some important fundamentals about how CC licenses operate. First and foremost, our licenses operate in conjunction with copyright, not in lieu of copyright. This means that if the terms of the CC license you have applied to your music or other creative work are violated, as the judge concluded in the Belgian case, the result is copyright infringement and nothing less.
