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.
