One more thing to remember is that the current wording is the wording on the generic license. We really hope that most people won't use the generic license, but will use their local licenses.
I didn't realise that. Why is that? There doesn't seem to be anything on the CC website that pushes people to choose a 'local' version of the licenses.
We haven't done that on our site yet, but we have been doing it verbally and should do it more on the website. As Jimmy says, they are "compatible" and people should really choose the local license that makes sense for them. The generic license, in a way, is just a reference for the jurisdictions to make their local versions.
