Yes, Plone looks very interesting.

My main concerns about any license are:
1. It should be easily understandable by the people who will be making use
of the work.
2. Brevity is very useful for the part that must be included with all
documents.
3. Since it works on copyright, and since different kinds of copyrightable
things often interact (i.e., rpg to computer game or software to manual),
the license ought to be inclusive to all kinds of media: fiction,
software, manuals, role-playing games, without having to "assume that
where it says software, it really means blah blah blah".
