[cc-community] wrong license info / logo

Thank you for the explanation, Tom. I just noticed another problem on a 
  blog I used to be the main person in charge of, 
http://adisi.livejournal.com. Either I didn't know how to, or it was not 
possible to, insert the license code in the navigation template. The 
fact is that I made a link to the 
http://www.creativecommons.it/Licenze/Deed/by-nc-sa page among the 
useful links on the word "licenza creative commons".

Then the Italian by-nc-sa license moved to 
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/deed.it, to which the 
old address redirected for quite a while, if I remember correctly.

But now, if you go to the old, 
http://www.creativecommons.it/Licenze/Deed/by-nc-sa address, you get a 
page that says "accesso negato", access denied.

I wonder if the same happened with other national sites that used to 
host the licenses, after they were transfered to creativecommons.org
