How I hope the lawyer at EFF writes something on how derivations of CC-BY work (and how it's different than SA), and how it interacts with 1.0a.

Anything new?

Think of the new 5000-word essay you can write on Creative Commons licenses in TTRPGs!

I'm old enough to remember when there was only one license that gamers regularly argued about!

Not an expert? You cant have an opinion, you are not an expert.
An expert? You can have an opinion.
Another expert? Your expert opinion is wrong.

TLDR: Nobody gets to have an opinion, we are all wrong, merrily dancing until the curtain drops.

“Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that's horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it's nothing. It's just bibble-babble. It's like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks.” —Harlan Ellison

If we must meet a bar of vigorous research, the internet becomes a much more quiet, and boring place.

It doesn't even need to be vigorous. Just something of an informed opinion. Considering the last month, I'd gladly take a bit of "boring internet".

Unfortunately, much "informed opinion" is informed by someone else's uninformed opinion. Especially on the internet.
