I only included the 'license code', e.g., by, by-sa, sampling+, etc.  I 
believe one may always use whatever jurisdiction one chooses, so a 
result of 'by-sa' means that one can use any of 'by-sa/2.0/', 
'by-sa/2.0/nl/', 'by-sa/2.0/tw/', etc.

Not that I know of, assuming you're asking if there exists any basis for 
a jurisdiction-specific license to prohibit a relicensor from using an 
allowed license written for another jurisdiction.  The ShareAlike 
licenses explicitly allow using the same SA license from another 
jurisdiction.

It may be confusing, and some systems may just require users to use the 
same license a source work used, even if others could be used.  I 
believe this is what http://ccmixter.org does currently.
