I think it's pretty cool. But there is one thing that might be improved...

As a simple pragmatic measure, wouldn't it be cheaper for Creative
Commons if the intertitle refered viewers to the license URL rather than
 suggesting postal mail as the first option for getting a copy of the
license? (Postage and paper presumeably costs CC more than bandwidth).

I don't meant that the address shouldn't appear, just that the URL
should probably appear (and probably first or in larger print).

Needless to say, it'd also be good to have variants for the other licenses.

Cheers,
Terry
