still i would really like to see an obligation on the licensor to
make sure that third party rights holders approve the that the work
is licensed under the license in question. Form em the licenses are
about enabling re-use and i can only re-use something under the terms
of the license if that license actually covers the entire work. i am
really not concerned about who may sue whom in what what specific
circumstances but about what the licenses enable.

v1 of the licenses had a guarantee that third party rights weren't being infringed.

See section 5 here:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/legalcode

It was taken out as it doesn't help. It adds liability to licensors without protecting licensees.
