a) I doubt that Adobe/O'Reilly could recoup the cost of the offer
within five years. [O'Reilly has a policy of flipping all books to a
CC 2.0 Licence five years after publication.]

b) I don't know what sort of royalty arrangement Peter has, but I
expect that financially, it is much better than any royalty
arrangement that involves the CC 2.0 Licence.
