Hmm, good points... also, what about an option that allows releasing into
the public domain? Right now they don't have that option, it's a CC license
or All Rights Reserved. In many cases (such as if we were to upload some of
our FPs to Flickr) we would run into issues with having to say they are
under a CC license when in fact they are PD or other.
