Less urgently (not doing so won't break anything), you should pay

Now that Evan Prodromou has added support for Creative Commons metadata to MediaWiki, I'm adding a license selection option to the installer using the remote licensing engine. I've run into one little snag, though, with the license_button return value.

If I select public domain, I get a full URL - "http://creativecommons.org/images/public/norights.gif";. But if I select one of the licenses, I only get a partial fragment: "images/public/somerights.gif". Now, I could special-case it to add "http://creativecommons.org/"; at the start, but that doesn't seem right...
