HN Request: Creative Commons for comment text

Currently HN comments have no license, which means they can't be included in http://hackermonthly.com/ unless explicit permission is sought for every comment.

If HN applied the Creative Commons Attribution license to comment text (by adding a notice to the comment submission form) then comments could be republished in Hacker Monthly, and in general it just seems like the Right Thing. Any concerns or reasons why this isn't a good idea?
