By the way, I fail to see any difference between 2.0 and 2.5 Can some more law-savvy people explain the difference. I'm almost sure it's in the legal version of the license.
I find the creativecommons site very hard to find such information on, although I'm sure it's there. But with a bit of Googling I turned up the *beginning* of the discussion about v2.5... http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2005-May/002313.html ...and it "Drawing to a Close"... http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5457 ...but no announcement that it has "become official", although it does seem to have.
Basically, it seems to be to do with electing who gets attribution - to allow collective and nominated attribution in some way. Don't ask me how, or how this relates to the cc-wiki proposal, because I've only skimmed the stuff, but the links above seem to basically explain it if you have the patience to work it out.
