I think it's important for anybody that considers himself an "artist"
to somewhat control what others make to their "art". I use to share my
photos as Attribution but if I consider any of them perfect enough I
will for sure share it as also NoDerivs or Sampling. I think this is
what makes CC great, such freedom.

We shall not forget that anything not explicitly copylefted is
copyrighted. In Spain, if I make music not under CC, SGAE will try to
make money from every time it sounds and sure I won't see an euro as I
am not affiliated.

Of course even given I'm a CC advocate I would never try stopping you
from sharing your contents as GPL!

Cordially, Ismael
