I just left a comment on the podcast shownotes for the 'Citizen Journalism' talk that I wish to remix and republish to help spread the word.

I am very surprised to find that there isnt an open (e.g. CC:BY) license so that I can do this without having to ask for (and somehow magically track) permission. For more info on which Creative Commons terms are most open, check these conversations that Beth Kanter and I are involved in:

Creative Commons is a nonprofit project that offers "an alternative to a full copyright." Creators of original material can choose on a case-by-case basis which rights to they wish to reserve. All that prospective users of the material have to do is respect the clearly stated policy about attribution, commercial use, derivative works, and future licensing. Fortunately, Creative Commons provides explanations of the policies in something close to human (as opposed to legal) language.
