One second, I can't find that language at all. Are we looking at the same 
license? This is what I'm looking at:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/legalcode

If you do a text search for "later" you won't get any hits. There are only 
two 
instances of the word "version":

  * 1b:  '... motion picture version, ...'
  * 3a:  '... You create from the Work ("cover version")...'

The language you are quoting doesn't seem to be in the license.

Help!

Cheers,
