I'm comfortable with just CC-By; Most of the pics and video I put
online get that license.  All CC material has the By component, which
requires attribution.

CC-SA means that whoever uses it has to provide their modifications
under the same license. (i.e. the Viral nature of GPL2)

CC-ND means that however it gets used, it may not be modified.  This
wouldn't prevent, e.g. satire or mockery, as those are protected forms
of speech under Fair Use laws, anyway.  Instead, it tends to restrict
things like mashups.

CC-NC means that it's not allowed to be used for commercial purposes.
I avoid this one; I'd rather not spend my time negotiating requests to
use the content.
