[cc-community] CC-BY-SA 2.0 is the old "generic" version, yes?

Yes, as you can see on the deed
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/); there was also a 2.5
version (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/).
My recollection is that the Generic license was based on US copyright
law but I believe the US affiliate (Berkman Center) went through the
"normal" porting process when crafting the 3.0 US license.
