I think we should make a real effort to explain the pros and cons of the various CC licenses and what they actually mean for copyright holders and re-users. I think many choices of licenses like NC are born out of a lack of understanding, and people might be more receptive to CC-By-SA if they understood it better.

I could be wrong, but that's my general impression.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Livetweeting the Battle of Arras (1917)

Just a note for the World War I buffs amongst you - there's quite an interesting plan by Oxford University to crowdsource a livetweet of the Battle of Arras. More info here:  http://ww1centenary.oucs.ox.ac.uk/?p=253

I'm planning to take part and other Wikimedians would be very welcome. 

You might notice that the organisers have taken a licensing approach of putting the eventual resource they are creating from this initiative under CC-BY-NC, but nevertheless encouraging participants to digitise their own materials and put them on Commons. So that's 50% right ;-)
