This looks right to me, like something we should've done since day one. If I see no objections or improvements I'll implement in a few days.

On your license pages, e.g.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/,
would it make sense to include an explicit link to an RDF version of the license, e.g.
<link
rel="alternate"
type="application/rdf+xml"
href="index.rdf"
/>
?
This would allow people to reference the license with:
<cc:license
rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/"
/>
An intelligent web crawler could then automatically retrieve the licensing terms, without having to know anything about CC.
(*) Eric's original text said "license.rdf", which I changed to "index.rdf".
Thanks for the suggestion Eric,
Mike
