I've been trying to figure this "Creative Commons" thing out, and it looks pretty neat. They have a flash video that makes everything clear and features, oddly, The White Stripes. They even have South-Park-esque flash animations of Meg and Jack White.
creativecommons.org/license/
Flash video:

Also, if anyone has the patience to figure out who these people are... then... tell us. They seem to have some activity (and have vague relation to) the Creative Commons' discussions.
