In German. Reasons for re-use OA and my mantra "Make all
research results CC-BY":

(1) Data mining, see already
http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/4851871/ (in English)

(2) Educational use, see GSU case and "Open Education"
movement

(3) Open Content projects (e.g. Wikimedia projects)

(4) Re-Use of heritage items and scholarly
photographs/illustrations: not possible if CC-NC and
publication in commercial journal

(5) More chance for impact if commercial use

(6) Translations

(7) Wiki-re-use of materials

(8) Orphans

(9) Mirroring in repositories - LOCKSS principle

(10) We need more remix experiments

Summary: CC-BY as default license.

Best,
