discussion of the Creative Commons Metadata work

[Mike Linksvayer <ml AT creativecommons.org>]

There may be people on this list with websites using the CC licensing 
engine described at 
<http://creativecommons.org/technology/developerdocs> to allow their 
users to select a CC license and return to the website with the selected 
license.  If this is you, CC's pending introduction of new license 
versions could affect this function on your website, depending upon your 
implementation.

Specifically, the following six new license URLs will be returned:

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

If you have the existing eleven licenses hardcoded somewhere, you need 
to add these (and preferably get rid of the hardcoding).

The RDF for each of the above licenses is the same as that for the 
corresponding 1.0 licenses, excepting the changed '2.0' URL as above, 
should you happen to have the RDF hardcoded somewhere.

Less urgently (not doing so won't break anything), you should pay 
attention to the license_button return value, in addition to 
license_url, so you can display the appropriate button image for the 
license selected.
