Brazil is, of course, a very good situation to be looking at - Agencia
Brasil defaults to using CC-BY for much of its web content, and this
may be a good position to work from.

Even if we cannot practically get anything in place for 2016 for
"outside" free content people, if ABr are able to release material in
2016 and the sky doesn't fall in, we're in a good position for
2018/2020...
