The blog template defaults to this license, but we have amended a plugin so people can change to a different Creative Commons license or to copyright at the click of a radio button.

I’ve explained it to people as “if it’s on the ‘net, others will take your content anyhow, so it is worth specifying exactly how you want them to re-use it”. So far none of the 50 or so blogs have changed their license.

Just asked the question. Library management was already aware of issues surrounding creative commons licensing.
