IIUC, CC licences aim to protect against others making money from your work. How is "ASCAP not being happy" related to that?
You're correct that GNU and CC belong to the eco-system where sharing is the norm, but NEITHER have any objection to others making making money (yes they do both object to free-riders).Unless I'm mistaken, LilyPond (GNU) and CC belong to the "eco-system" where sharing is the norm (to enhance the common cultural pool) while making it hard for "free-riders". Using the tools offered by that alternate system, and then bow to the arguments of those who smear it seems a contradiction.
CC has an *optional* clause that forbids commercial activity (I use it on my photos), and GNU forbids charging for THE SOFTWARE. But CC doesn't forbid commercial activity by default, and GNU permits charging for services, such as supplying the software, supporting the software, and anything like that.
