Requesting feedback: Essay on Creative Commons

What is meaning and effect of the ‘Share-Alike’ term in Creative Commons licensing? What kinds of material is ‘Share-Alike’ good for? Is it a good term, do you think, to apply to weblogs?

This is not a formal research essay, but rather what the lecturers call a ‘reflective essay’. I’m assuming that what they are looking for with an assessment like this is evidence of thought and reflection that is not too ‘burdened’ by comprehensive research. Sort of like what we do here when we blog. haha. :)

Anyhow, same procedure, all comments, criticisms and flames are welcome. I’m doing this in order to improve myself, hence I’ll gladly take anything you people throw at me.

Oh, and I’m experimenting with different file formats. Perhaps not everyone has a PDF reader, and Acrobat can really act wonky at times, but I’m sure everyone can display Flash content in their browsers. Don’t worry, its not annoying animated stuff, so load times will be lightning quick, and the text rendering will be sharp and clear due to vectorisation. ;)

Do try out the Flashpaper link, and let me know what you think.
