I can't speak for Creative Commons (it's been more than 20 years since I was their EU Director), but I'm *positive* that there are copyfighting lawyers out there who'd *love* to work on a project like this.
I think Willingham is onto something here. After all, *Fables* is *built* on the public domain.

As Willingham writes in his release: "The current laws are a mishmash of unethical backroom deals to keep trademarks and copyrights in the hands of large corporations, who can largely afford to buy the outcomes they want."
Willingham describes how his participation in the entertainment industry has made him *more* skeptical of IP, not less. He proposes capping copyright at 20 years, with a single, 10-year extension for works that are sold onto third parties.
