Those CC licenses are indeed interchangeable l10ns, if it have the same properties. They also have special clause in the licenses to permit interchanging l10ns of the license in the actual legal code. Example: CC-by 3.0 China (in Simplified Chinese, on top of Chinese laws) versus CC-by 3.0

The links you included points to Chinese explanation of Unported license, not the localized license itself. An example: CC-by-sa 3.0 China http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/cn/ this is the localized one. Sent from my iPhone On 2013年10月21日, at 21:29, David Woolley

Problem: Chinese court generally require licenses be written in Chinese language. So still, I need some mechanism to make l10n work. Sent from my iPhone On 2013年10月21日, at 22:34, Luis Villa l...@lu.is wrote: On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 6:29 AM, David Woolley for...@david-woolley.me.uk wrote:
