Yeah - I think CDL is great. But it worries me that CDL doesn't sit on established caselaw (let alone established legal code... really we should pass an amendment to the Copyright Act saying that CDL is fine) and that the Internet Archive is relying on the same legal arguments for CDL to support their uncontrolled model, because it means there's genuine validity in a judge ever saying "if we allow CDL it's a slippery slope." The Internet Archive has demonstrated that they are very interested in sliding to the bottom of the slope as fast as possible
