 no chance - absolutely none - of using creative commons or any such
"oh yehhh let's give everything away for freeee, we'll get rewarded in

 if there's to be any license used it will be one with some bite.

 creative commons is about as helpful as a bucket of cold water.  ok,
there's a few circumstances where a bucket of cold water is actually
quite helpful... :)

 well the two are compatible (GPL and AGPL) so you can use one with
