Creative Commons Includes GPL And LGPL Metadata

TrentC writes "I was looking at the Creative Commons site this weekend, and was surprised to find, on their license generation page, entries (translated into Portuguese) in a sidebar for the GNU General Public License and GNU Lesser General Public License, including RDF blocks. Since CC is pushing for projects that can generate, validate, display and search for CC license metadata, how cool would it be to be able to do a Google search for GPL-licensed material, or a P2P network for MP3s released under the CC Attribution-ShareAlike license? As an example, Nathan Yergler has released mozCC, a plugin for Mozilla and Firebird that allows you to view CC license information embedded in a webpage, and provides icons on the status bar displaying the CC license options."

...I seem to recall in the past that Creative Commons had some problems with the GPL and its ilk in the past due to its somewhat viral nature. How have they managed to compromise now?

Nice....

What the fuck is "PKI infrastructure?" I've heard of Public Key Infrastructure, but never Public Key Infrastructure infrastructure.

Fuck you.
