Hi all,

I'm working on some legacy code wich included the CC license urls into a
database. Upon checking those urls today, I noticed that these urls do
not redirect to the license deed, but instead to the CC.org homepage. Is
this intentional or a bug?

The url I tried is this one:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd-nc/2.0/nl/deed.nl

Sure sounds like a bug to me!

If this is intentional I would suggest reconsidering this behaviour as there is quite a lot of 'old' media aka books, cds etc using the older license urls which now do not point to the correct license deed. This would confuse people expecting license information.

Yeah. NY will say for sure, I'm sure!
