unCreative Commons

I think it should be publicly stated that the ND CC license ("ND" means "No Derivatives"; whichever version of the license; 3.0 here) should not be called a "Creative" license; perhaps a "Commons" license, as something a person may distribute, but that's all. This especially since someone badges their work with a CC and gets brownie points, but it's not a CC.

Just a reminder post...

...to myself that I left a comment here.

This is one of my favorite quotes on global warming, by the way:

I am not saying that the warming does not cause problems. Obviously it does. Obviously we should be trying to understand it better. I am saying that the problems are grossly exaggerated. They take away money and attention from other problems that are more urgent and more important, such as poverty and infectious disease and public education and public health, and the preservation of living creatures on land and in the oceans, not to mention easy problems such as the timely construction of adequate dikes around the city of New Orleans.(http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/dysonf07/dysonf07_index.html)
