Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

If I recall correctly that bug was reported and fixed in Subversion.
Unfortunately the version in Subversion is broken in new and strange
ways, so that doesn't do you much good.  I will be returning my
attention to wpLicense in the very near future and will make sure that
fix is in the next release.

Thanks for the report,

Nathan
