Headsup to Drew and Jonathan in particular, following the recent discussions 
about NC and the differences between jurisdictions, here's a difference I 
spotted with the unported/USA and UK BY-SA license....

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/uk/legalcode

See 2.5

Am I correct in thinking this is a pretty major difference between the USA 
and UK licenses?  Presumably this is why web sites tend to us the "unported" 
licenses, so as not to introduce incompatibilities?  Does this ultimately 
mean that I'd best stick with unported licenses (being UK based mostly) to 
ensure maximum compatibility for those remixing my work?
