RMS says Creative Commons Unacceptable

Mr A Coward writes "Richard Stallman has stated in an interview that he no longer supports Creative Commons licenses. In the interview carried on LinuxP2P.com, and which is largely about the P2P and DRM issues, Stallman ends by saying: 'I no longer endorse Creative Commons. I cannot endorse Creative Commons as a whole, because some of its licenses are unacceptable.' He suggests instead using the GPL for creative works." The crux of his argument is that, since he disagrees with some of the CC licenses, and people tend to lump them all together, he feels compelled to reject them all. What's your take? Are some Creative Commons licenses worth using, even if others aren't?

      I'm suing him. He's hacked into my computer and made a carbon copy of all my files. Is this the kind of thing Slashdot has become?!

    This joker (thanks for the abuse of mod points, asshat) is why Slashdot will never be more than a sandbox for the emotionally challenged.

    I don't doubt that you have problems comprehending the material you're covering during your academic studies. After all, you were unable to notice that Republicans and Democrats are the very same these days. So it doesn't strike me as odd that you lack basic analytical skills, in addition to your inability to read.
