     @laurelrusswurm No they don't. #CC licenses are only a subset of 'free' licenses. I prefer the #WTFPL, personally.

     @amgine #WTFPL is unlikely choice 4 ex-dentist-ex-pastor whose ex-chief-of-staff registers spurious sites in name of !lpc opponent !elxn41

     @amgine Point is that these days !copyright makes it necessary for some license for public figures. !CC is best known for photos. !elxn41

     @laurelrusswurm No, I believe PD is more well-known.

     @amgine !Publicdomain has existed longer, but I suspect most people don't understand it as much as we don't understand !copyright issues..
