That is a good outline of the different options, Shivanand. One thing that stands out is that a creative commons license provides clear information about how a piece of work can be used. It eliminates the need to contact the author. For those of us involved in curriculum development, this is huge!

Carole, it's actually more that I'm absent minded. I meant to post the answer key earlier! :-)
I find the short explanations of each license on this page to be really helpful: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/
And clicking on the "license deed" link for each license takes you to a page with really concise information about what you can do, and under what conditions.
"CC with a Person" That's way more meaningful than "BY". Now I'll always think of it that way!
Have you done the scenario - matching activity? Have any of the scenarios got you stumped?
Here's the direct link: http://www.twiddla.com/1322756
Every time I check in I either see new squiggly lines that peeple have drawn...or a blank page. Unfortunately, it's a little too easy to wipe the page clean!
So if you do go to that activity and the page is blank, a screenshot of the activity can be found here: http://scope.bccampus.ca/mod/page/view.php?id=9364
And shhhh! Here are the answers:

Thanks for that tip, Carole. I didn't think about it being a browser issue. It runs for me using Chrome.
First of all, thanks so much for participating in this workshop, Paul!
I'm going to jump in with a question that's been on my mind. We hear over and over again about how students will benefit from open textbooks (and other OER) because they are free.
What are some other benefits for students working with faculty that adopt Creative Commons Licenses for their courses/materials?
