default CC license version number is always latest?
Hi legal, I've found a theme which states it's licensed 'Creative Commons by-nc-sa'. My question is whether is possible assume the version of the license or not (note that my first reaction to this is this is not a valid license, but I'm not sure if my feelings are right). regards, -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «You will be advanced socially, without any special effort on your part.» signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Ricardo Mones asked: I've found a theme which states it's licensed 'Creative Commons by-nc-sa'. My question is whether is possible assume the version of the license or not (note that my first reaction to this is this is not a valid license, but I'm not sure if my feelings are right). I think it would be reasonable to assume it's under the latest version on the date of publication, but I don't know if that's good enough for ftpmasters. It would be better to clarify, of course.
