There may be people on this list with websites using the CC licensing engine described at <http://creativecommons.org/technology/developerdocs> to allow their users to select a CC license and return to the website with the selected license. If this is you, CC's pending introduction of new license versions could affect this function on your website, depending upon your implementation.

Specifically, the following six new license URLs will be returned:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

If you have the existing eleven licenses hardcoded somewhere, you need to add these (and preferably get rid of the hardcoding).

The RDF for each of the above licenses is the same as that for the corresponding 1.0 licenses, excepting the changed '2.0' URL as above, should you happen to have the RDF hardcoded somewhere.

Less urgently (not doing so won't break anything), you should pay attention to the license_button return value, in addition to license_url, so you can display the appropriate button image for the license selected.
