I just saw the CC page has a blurb about
"Creative Commons Add-in for Microsoft(r)
Office"
which is apparently a plugin provided from microsoft.com
Am I reading that right? Because I thought Bill
thought we were a bunch of communists.

You are reading it right.

"Creative Commons has announced that you can download
a tool now from  
Microsoft
that will attach a Creative Commons license of your choice
to any  
Word, Excel
or Powerpoint document. As much as I appreciate Creative
Commons, I  
think you
should look at the EULA and read it carefully before you say
"I do." I
understand the hopes here, but it does seem a mismatch. I
have marked  
the parts
I particularly noticed. The tool makes the process easy, but
it is  
not your only
choice."

Gates is against the commons, but he's not against pirating
culture:

"Gates: Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted
content that the  
owner wasn't
paid for. So yes."
