Ah. So, like, the connotation of the rights is kind of governed by the
context of the license URL, I guess, eh? Neato.
For example, if I had a music-editing program, and I had two pieces of
source music -- one under sa-nc (say), and one under by-sa -- it could
use the metadata to see if a remix of the two pieces would be possible
(no, if either piece is licensed at 1.0 level), and what license such
a remix would have to be under (by-nc-sa, AFAICT).
I just wanted to give a heads-up. It's a good idea to be ready for
change!
