(Um, isn’t that the point of licensing something through Creative Commons? So that people won’t have to ask you?)

I mean, I really don’t get this. If someone violated the terms of the CC license you picked, then yeah, that’s a problem. If you didn’t license it at all, then again, yeah, that’s misappropriation of your work, because you haven’t given permission.

But if you make the effort to choose a license that preemptively gives people permission?

Are there people out there using creative commons licenses who don’t know what they mean?
