Count me as a supporter of licensing as CC-BY-SA: it encourage others to 
remix our videos and also allows us to include in our videos stuff made 
by other people and licensed as CC-BY-SA.

 From all the CC licenses, it seems the only viable options are CC-BY 
and CC-BY-SA (the other, NC and ND are *not free*).

Using a CC license could work also as a marketing vehicle, licenses as 
OPL are largely unknown, when people hear about something released under 
such license will react like "whatever, that is *some* content released 
under *some* license", but using CC will create more buzz.
Also, we can try a collaboration with ccLiveContent (is that project 
still alive?)
