I'm sorry this happened. I'll look into how this happened, but my understanding was that the language that was used was what was in the draft.
If it was the language in the public drafts during 2007 I am gravely mistaken and owe an apology.
It *was* the language in a Dec 2006 draft I was given privately. Because I did not see the language in later drafts I believed it was dropped from consideration, I was in error to make that assumption regardless of anything else that went on.
An example draft: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2007-February/005013.html
Even if this isn't confusion on my part, then this still isn't the end of the world.
There does appear to be a widespread belief that the current language is confusing, so I can't say that I'll be too happy if the end result is nothing more than to agree to disagree, but I am happy to see some progress. ;)
Thanks for your attention.
