Proposal: Creative Commons 50/50 License

I've got a Creative Commons license on all my content.

Here's the license I have chosen:

Creative Commons License
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License.

This means people can use my work as long as it's not for commercial purposes. They don't even have to ask as long as they follow the rules and give me credit. It's also nice if they let me know

If people want to use my work for commercial purposes they can contact me and we can work something out. I'm pretty much ok with a 50/50 split of revenue if someone wants to use my content.

I am proposing a new CC license that encompases this idea.

The same Non Commercial license with a 50/50 add on, so if someone wants to use my work for a commercial purpose they can, as long as they split the profits with me 50/50.

I don't want to deal with long contracts. Just let me know you want to use my work and split the profits with me 50/50.

Your thoughts...

Update:
Andy Carvin expands on my new Creative License idea.



Nice work.
