How to increase  CC license usage?
Lower  the transaction cost for  supporting  Creative Commons licensing and technologies
Build Strong Relationships  with  People  at   Developed  and  Emerging  Organizations

Do all the above given that: CC has limited $$$ CC has limited personnel (me) I have limited time :)
The strategy is to prioritize...
Developed Groups Pick 5 best targets (with achievable goals) Create generalized open source tools Add experience gained to public collective memory  ( http://wiki.creativecommons.org ) Publicize key events heavily
 
Emerging Groups Developed groups influence Collective memory (wiki) is used (and added to) Interconnect when possible Empower to be the fast-movers they are
