First off I love this module. Personally I am a big supporter of the creative commons licensing. While I'm a big supporter of this licensing method, not everybody that uses my website is. Apparently if you install the creative commons lite modules and activate it, it requires you to choose a CC license otherwise you cannot post your node. I would like one of two thing to happen. Either remove the requirement to choose CC license or add the options to choose a "No License Defined" and "Other"

Also, I would like the default option to be "No License Defined" if you go the still requiring a choice route.

I have made (to the best of my understanding and abilities) the changes that you asked for.

For anyone reviewing the code, the changes have occurred on lines 153 - 159, 235, 261 - 263, and 442 - 449.

For some reason that I can't figure out, I attached the full module a minute ago install of the patch. So, here we are, take 2, let me upload the patch... That should be much friendlier...

Sorry about that. :P

Applied the patch. All looks pretty good. My only issue with it doesn't automatically default to "No License defined." This is a minor nit-pick. The functionally I really needed was added. Thanks for the good work.

I got it to default to by-sa (share-alike), by editing lines 241-

I replace the: $types[''] = 'choose one';
to: $types['by-sa'] = '';

now it displays the share alike option by default, but still lets a user choose. I suspect you could do this for no-license as well. (I also removed a bunch of license options from the list).

If no licence is defined, works are immediately under Copyright (in the US and most country) except if you explicitly grant rights of usage - e.g. by using a CC licence.

Adding an option for "all rights reserved" will definitley make sense in some cases/ for some sites.
So let's change "No License Defined" into "All rights reserved"

Note that using a CC license does not have any influence on your copyright. With the exception of some countries you will automatically have the copyright as soon as you write/create something, with or without a (CC) licence. With a CC licence you indicate what other people can do with it but you will keep the copyright: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#Is_applying_a_Creative_Commons_licen...

... To me happens opposite thing ... I installed the module and set it up, but I can post everything ... no question about license is posed to any user ... I gave full permissions to everybody ... but nothing happens .. what's up ?
