There are several limitations to using CC licensed work for dummy copy. On my site, for example, you could not use it in a commercial setting, you would have to apply the same license to any derivative works and you would have to attribute within the bounds of the CC license.

Dummy copy, especially Lorem Ipsum copy, is copyright free and doesn’t have any such restrictions. Much better for testing all elements of a site.

Besides, who the heck would want to use this site for dummy copy? I’d imagine most would find lorem ipsum more interesting to boot.

Why should I use dummy copy when I could just use your blog instead -- since it is licensed under CC? With Creative Commons and other Free licenses out there, how is this even an issue anymore? Why should I use dummy copy when I could just use your blog instead — since it is licensed under CC?
