The modification was made in order to be 
completely accurate. The user of a work does not 
technically exercise a right in a work, since 
those rights are owned by the copyright owner. It 
is only when she is a party to the CC License 
that she exercise the rights granted to her by 
the license. But since this article refer to an 
act that is deemed to be an acceptation of the 
license, it seemed to us more accurate to say 
that this acceptance follows any use of the works 
covered by the rights referred to in the license.

NO.

I don't understand your point. That does not have 
an effect on the article you commented about the 
acceptation of the license, I think
