Actually the GPL is a copyright grant much the same as CC, basically
giving the recipient of the work extra rights.
In fact the 'creative commons attribution-share alike' licence is
pretty much the same idea as the GPL.
The way that flickr allows users to assign different CC licenses to
photos would work very well with the wwp too - Though the default
should be 'all rights reserved' as it is at the moment.
