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
