I think that we need to first define the license under which the Podcast is
released.  The Creative Commons is the obvious choice - but which one.

Personally I think the following about the different parts:

  Attribution:  As the stated purpose of this is to promote the club
    we should apple attribution.

  Noncommercial: I'm not so sure that we should invoke this bit - after
    all we want to prompt the club and allowing any use may help to 
    advertise ourselves far and wide.

  No Derivative Works: I think we want this, as we don't want people
    changing what we say.

  Share Alike: We definitely want to get the work spread to as wide an
    audience as possible.

Of course there may be times when special considerations need to be
applied and I think we need to make it clear who has responsibility 
for that.  If we name key people then those people could leave the
club (sign of the mail list).  I think that for this purpose then
the Lug masters (as defined by the mail-list) is the final point of
contact if no other method works - i.e. our e-mails could be in
the video stream.  I am working on the assumption that future Lug
Masters would have policies similar to ours here and now.
