I wouldn't (and didn't) vote.

If you held a gun to my head and told me to vote, I'd choose forever. After all, that leave the author the option to release their work into the public domain at a later date. It also gives authors the option to license their work under more generous terms, which is what CC licensing and the GPL is about.

In reality though, I find it quite offensive that someone can (in theory) work on something for a few months and live off the proceeds for the rest of their life. That is especially true when you consider that writing is easy work, and by easy work I mean that it isn't the sort of thing that you do for minimum wage and end up with a body that is wrecked for life.
