Sure, but the CC licenses are not that clear ! Do you now what they mean 
when they say they are not "revokable" for example. We just talked about 
it for 2 hours on IRC yesterday.

The CC licenses were not meant to be used precisely for Wikinews and 
they don't adopt the exact vocabulary we need to describe what we do. We 
have a chance to make it perfect, so let's do it rather than to rely on 
third parties legal work.
