First, allow me to thank everyone for the positive feedback: "Thanks!". :-)

Fred:
The original reason that I didn't put the URLs in is because I 
anticipated the videos might be distributed offline, and it just seemed 
more practical to mention the mailing address instead. Also, a mailing 
address seems more formal.

One thing that I think Creative Commons could improve upon is the naming 
of the licenses. To the average person, I think they look like 
gibberish. Also, I think the URL could be a bit simpler. Granted, the 
people who are actually interested in the license will be willing to 
pause the video long enough to jot down the URL, but still.... this is a 
bit long: "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/".


Mia:
Do you think you could convince someone to separate out the deed icons 
into individual SVG files; it was a bit tedious to have to lasso, copy, 
and paste them from a single file.

As far as the linking request goes, the files are on my experimental web 
server, so there is no guarantee that I won't manage to wipe out the 
whole server tomorrow. Therefore, I would recommend against relying on 
the URLs to continue to be correct.

The CC circle was added in a later revision because I thought it would 
look cool. I will be happy to make that layer invisible.

Terry:
Yes, I most certainly would expect that versions of this will be made to 
cover every conceivable license. I just wanted to get the basics down 
first. ;-)


Greg:
Yeah, that's what I based my wording off of. I just got confused by the 
(a)'s and (b)'s.

Everyone:
I have a cold and should probably be heading for bed. I will upload and 
share the revision tomorrow.

Once again, thanks everyone! I feel famous now; does CC have a Hall of 
Fame? ;-)
