This is not necessary, as all of the ported (and unported) licenses are 
meant to be applicable worldwide.  So you just probably just publish 
under the Germany license.

That said I'm not a lawyer, etc., and this is probably the wrong list 
for this discussion. :)

See http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-community for more 
general CC discussion.

Thanks!
