In all of my GPL distribution, I've never had someone refuse a download 
and insist on a CD instead. So, the capability to distribute a "similar 
medium" is maintained for license compliance, but never used.

My own series of 24 books with Prentice Hall used an open content 
license that preceded Creative Commons.
