Charles, I appreciate you pointing this out, since I would hate there to be any confusion over the use of the term “copyleft”. What I mean by it there is a more liberal license than traditional copyright, such as one by the Creative Commons. Not all CC licenses are copyleft in the strict sense of the word.

On another note, by no means should it be perceived that material described as “copyleft” is in the public domain, unless it is specified as such.

Perhaps the license you mention is one of the more liberal licenses via Creative Commons, and people can visit this page to discover more about Creative Commons licensing.

For more information on the term “copyleft”, Wikipedia has this entry.

Now all the Creative Commons licenses are copyleft.

In fact AFAIK out of all the 18 Creative Commons licenses, only 1 of them is copyleft. (The CC-BY-SA one.) That’s it.

Actually, no! It is perfectly legal! Unless you play music in your Podcast, for which you haven’t payed the proper license for at RIAA.. However, you can play copylefted music, such as music licensed under a creative commons license! Check that out at: http://creativecommons.org/

isn’t that illegal? It sounds like it must infringe some type of copyright…
