Yes, CC licenses explicitly allow for giving notice with the a license
URL rather than a copy of the license.

As a practical matter I wouldn't use "CCNSP" as an abbreviation. AFAIK
nobody has ever used that, so it would not really convey any
information.

Shorter version:

        This email is licensed under
        http://creativecommons.org/licenses/nc-sampling+/1.0/

Also, I'm not sure why you would want to use this license for email.
Attribution-NonCommercial has very similar characteristics, is much more
widely used, and in my experience is more easily understood.  URL for
the current version is http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/

Note that I am not a lawyer, etc. :)

Hi Mike,
           Thanx for clearing my mistake. updated the licenses. One thing more, Is there some kind of announce-list or whatever as & when the licenses are updated so one can review if one wants to take advantage of the newer version of license or remain with the old version. (Something akin to GPL v2 or GPL v3) . Possible, not possible please lemme know.
