Development of the Creative Commons Sampling license (or license option)

[Glenn Otis Brown <glenn AT creativecommons.org>]

Thanks for the offer, Josh, but I'd rather we did all the UI mock-ups  
on our own dev servers, so that we avoid having multiple versions and  
duplication of effort.

There's another thing to consider about the number of options:  The  
point isn't just that we're creating more web pages, or even more  
versions of our machine-readable licenses. (Though linking it all up  
with actual lawyer-readable licenses, and metadata, does take some  
time.)

The point is also that the more options we have, the less this will be  
like it's own stand-alone, special, sampling license. It will be the  
sampling-plus-copy-plus-attribution license, and then the  
sampling-minus-copy-plus attribution license, etc. etc. That's all.

Thanks for your patience. I promise that when I get I second of air  
we'll put this stuff out on the list.
