Cory Doctorow is famous for using a Creative Commons license, no DRM, and even makes (some of?) his work available as free downloads from his website, though I don't know of any other author who does this (the Creative Commons license). I think (I may be wrong) he gives the ability for people to write fan-fic based on his work. I'm not sure if they can sell it, or if they have to release it under a Creative Commons license also.
If you're going to publish through Smashwords, then I'm pretty sure they specify a copyright license. I'm not sure how it would work through Amazon DTP. Copyright is automatic. You simply write copyright (symbol) (year) (your name).
I suppose if you want to give people the ability to create derivative works, then you can use a Creative Commons license. Aside from this, I don't really see the benefit of it.

How does the number line for print runs work?
