@Dan/Tarmo: Well, it doesn't matter if we call the API or the partner
URL, both are a call to CC.org Although to be fair the API will probably
need a lot more back & forth going calls than just the - at this moment
- one call to the CC partner URL. Anyways, I'll stick with the partner
url for now.

As for translations: I've read about an extra parameter to include a
locale (the docs for the partner url use lang as parameter, but the API
uses locales. As far as I understood these are not necessarially the
same. Bug in docs?). If the locale does not exists will the partner url
fallback to a different language/locale?

@Diane: Looking forward to the launch plans, so we can 'add' (mostly
test) the updated licenses to our plugin as well.

Thanks,

grtz
