Comment. Good move. The more CC content there is, the more Google-crawlable content there is.
There's an even more important element here, but to describe it we need a term like "net share" (by analogy to "market share"). The more some-rights-reserved content increases net share, the more all-rights-reserved content loses net share. And the more that happens, the more the net becomes a headache-free zone for crawling, indexing, and sharing.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
