Jorge included a screenshot of Elefants Dream, yet he doesn't give credit. The very least thing he could do is to mention http://orange.blender.org/blog/creative-commons-license-2/ Credit for the Haiku icons is also not given (under whatever licese they may be).

He is also using the trademarked AMD logo, graphics (c) Opera, and the graphics on BeBits (whoever owns that copyright -- BeBits probably just "found" them somewhere). So a non-commercial license for those posters should be a requirement. As long as they are uncommercial, said companies may say "Remove our graphics", but they won't sue for lost profits or whatever.
I consider the artwork to be within the scope of fair use, which the CC does not reduce/limit/restrict. See:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#Do_Creative_Commons_licenses_affect_fair_use.2C_fair_dealing_or_other_exceptions_to_copyright.3FHaving said that, my choice of non-commercial was actually not legal, but rather intended to foster the spirit of volunteerism.
That posters can only be used commercially if all graphics are replaced with free content. I suggest a website with public domain content.
Feel free. :) Cheers, Koki
