It's very simple. A document, a weblog, a RSS file, a PDF or whatever, can specify which license applies. On the CC site, they tell you how to do it with RDF, but I'm interested in a solution that can be used in RSS 2.0 files, so we can in turn add a user interface to Rado and Manila (and others can do it for other authoring tools) that tie into the CC system. I totally support the idea of lawyers helping creative people instead of imprisoning us, but I can't convert everything I do to RDF to do that. Tonight is their launch. I'm toing it. If we can get a namespace defined and vetted today, I can announce our support tonight.
