No, I meant what I said - the legal aspect of it.

If I write stuff I have no problem with people using in whatever
way they see fit, which is nearly always if it's my choice, I don't 
use copyleft, and these days would pick an appropriate CC version.
As noted, I'm unfortunately rarely in a position to dictate the license
choice (as perhaps hinted by my email address)
