At the risk of opening up the paint cabinet inside the bike shed: what do you think meets our "need"? I ask this specifically about the Tao, the document that was brought up as a good use for the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike ("BY-SA") license (see <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/>). That license seemed to meet the desire (not need) to make the Tao more easily distributed to a wider audience, in multiple languages, and thus open the IETF up to more people.
