On Creative Commons Hack for Charity.

I have nothing against the Creative Commons license (or any other license for that matter), but I am beginning to find the economic gyrations that various organizations/entities go through in an attempt to support themselves without (gasps of horror) actually selling a product to a consumer rather ... surreal. Somebody must be spending a great deal of time constructing mental maps... it's okay to fund the provision of X to A by restricting the availability, not of X, but of Y, and by selling Y to C but not (god forbid) to A... One may accept money raised by the transfer of X service related to product to Y, but not from the transfer of product to Y. Oh dear. Is the resemblance to religion stronger than mere analogy?
