The trouble with CC licenses is that they need FAQs, but the FAQs
themselves are so curt that I have little trust they represent what
the actual license says. To me freedom includes freedom from the
plague of obfuscatory legalism; it means I can read the license for
myself and understand what I am reading.

Enslavement to lawyers seems less frightening than enslavement to
software writers, but it still scares me.
