I'm attempting to promote the use of explicit licenses in feeds,
and Creative Commons is one great source of predefined licenses
suitable for the kinds of things that people want to use feeds for
today:

+1
This is actually an interoperability issue: If I need to consult
my legal department
A bit more than that. As Elliotte said, there are a maelstrom of
possibilities and not necessary easy to solve. These days, I'm
blocking the access to *all* indexing bots (Google, Yahoo,
technorati, etc.) because of the license issue. I had to fight with
some of them.
When we choose CreativeCommons, Share A Like - No commercial user, we
expect that no commercial use will be done. It means no data
profiling, no advertisement, etc. As Elliotte said too, it can be
opposite, as one's would want to license its content, you can use it
but you have to pay me in returns.
* First simple solution: No commercial use.
Aggregators, indexing bots, Re-bloggers, etc. MUST enforce the
license. It means that a company like Technorati or Google could have
a P3P declaration saying: "if your data under this license XYZ, we
will not be able to index them." and not index them.
A Web blog readers which would data mining with the feeds, could
say: "Your data will not be used for commercial purpose when you are
a paid subscriber."
Then it will be users to decide the type of licenses, services and
subscriptions they are willing to accept. Respect of the contract.
* Difficult choice: Commercial use.
Here it's very hard and we are entering in the nightmarish DRMs
world. DRMs "could" be good if there were not mixed up with… TPM
(Technical Protection Mechanism). There are efforts in this direction
for Open DRMs
