hi all
maybe this topic has been yet discussed (in case, sorry). however,
it could interest you.
[from the FSF & GNU website, about CC licenses]
(...) we strongly urge you to reject the option to reference the license with a link to a URL. You cannot take for granted that the same URL will still function ten years from now; fifty years from now, URLs as they exist today may be entirely obsolete. If the URL does not function, that would disconnect your work from its license; then it would effectively lose its copying permissions, since people won't be able to tell what is permitted. We therefore urge you to include a copy of the license with the work, for every work, all the time.
you can read the whole paragraph (and many translation also) at

bye,
