oh, i was thinking of mentioning that, but forgot - suboptimal lisensing
on sites like flickr with no metadata.

i guess indicating the licese choice even without linking should qualify
as valid. it indicates the author's choice, but doesn't point the user
to the explanation putting the burden on him and doesn't make use of the
technological opportunities offered by CC licensing technology.

the problem might arise when it's not clear what object/work the
licensor is licensing, if there are more objects/works that are part of
a collection.
