Brian Kelly describes how he uses Creative Commons material in his presentations. I employ much the same approach, but less explicitly. For example, like him, I provide a link to a resource (say, an image) that I've used. But I don't assert explicitly that the image may have different rights associated with it than my presentation. I don't assert it because this should be obvious, and it is only a lawyer's trick to assume that everything in my presentation would be licensed under the same terms as the presentation itself. That said, if you use my presentation under the license I provide (SA) then you will be safe using all its contents, because I was. But it doesn't follow that any restriction I apply to my content (eg., NC) applies to any of the resources I've used. Finally, I don't worry about criticizing a resource in my presentation. Now all of that said, if you are a publisher and you want to actually publish anything I've done, it falls under the National Research Council publication policy, and you need a license. That's why (well, one reason, at least) I use the NC clause in my license.
