Development of Creative Commons licenses

["Ulrike Mahlmann" <Ulrike.Mahlmann AT gmx.de>]

Hi Malte,

There is probably no perfect solution. I think I would choose the license of 
the country where your target audience is based because you then stand a 
better chance that the license is valid where your content will be used. If 
your main target audience is located in several countries choose the license 
that suits you best. The differences are small as the licenses are supposed 
to be compatible but there are some: 
- Most European versions reserve more moral rights than the U. S. version; 
- Germany is still using version 2.0, so if the changes in the 2.5 versions 
are important to you don't choose a German license.

HTH a little
Regards
Ulrike
