good plan! I support the Creative Commons project as a very good
elaboration of the Copyright/Copyleft "regime" kicked off by the GPL.

I would, however, suggest:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/; because it also
prevents immediate commercialisation (without consent), but of course it
would be possible to negotiate a "good organisation's" use of the
material, but to let it be possible, in principle, for Rupert Murdoch to
just use the stuff is a bit too permissive for my taste. I like sharing,
but not with just anyone (fascists, capitalist pigs etc. are some
examples)....

as above..

PS: for those also involved with Indymedia, it would be something to
think about for the publishing page: "tick the box with your preferred
copyright license" (which would then have a range of Creative Commons
options, and one CC license as default).
