Hi,
There seems to be an error still in the BY license deed, see
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.creativecommons.org%2Flicenses%2Fby%2F4.0%2Flegalcode&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices:
These lines:
<!-- <p class="shaded"><a
name="languages">Additional languages available</a>: Please read the <a
href="//wiki.creative.commons.org/FAQ">FAQ</a> for more information about
official translations. -->
</p>
Should be
<!-- <p class="shaded"><a
name="languages">Additional languages available</a>: Please read the <a
href="//wiki.creative.commons.org/FAQ">FAQ</a> for more information about
official translations.
</p>—>
the closing </p> needs to be in the commented section.
The others check out in the validator.
I haven’t looked at the content of the pages.
Best,
Maarten

If you spot any new errors not present in the pages as originally
published, please let us know by next Monday! (If you spot any old
errors that exist in both versions, please also let us know so that we
can note the error.)
