A current CC license may be used worldwide, just like any free software 
license drafted in the US (AFAIK that's the case for every significant 
free software license).

The iCommons legal ports allow you to choose a license fine-tuned to a 
specific legal regime, should you feel the need.  I doubt a typical 
open-to-the-world website would want to do such a thing, but it could be
important to institutions operating in/under a given jurisdiction, for 
example.

(Of course I'm not a lawyer, let alone an international copyright 
lawyer, so take LSD above my non-advice!)
