I really don't know anything about CC's Lawrence Lessig. Given the internecine political battles between "free" and "open", does anybody know how RMS and Lessig feel about each other?
I have no idea, actually.
But I know that Lessig wants the CC licenses to be widely used, and I think that he'd be happy to make changes for the purpose of 'interoperability' with FDL. That's just a guess on my part, I don't actually know until I ask.
I'm actually just waiting to ask both of them until I'm sure I've got it all straight in my mind and can present it well.
I personally always try to say 'GNU-free' rather than 'open content', even though the Wikipedia front page says 'open content'. I have no particular political axe to grind, so I use the term that doesn't seem to upset anyway. :-)
