Our license templates (e.g. [[commons:Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0]]) link to the deed
only which links to the legal code. In fact I think our license templates
should also directly link to the legal code (which is what is -probably-
relevant in the end) like we've done it after the last cc license template
redesign at dewp: e.g. [[:de:Vorlage:Bild-CC-by-sa/3.0]]. There we decided that
we only link to the legal code and emphasize directly in the license template
that this is the legally binding stuff. Instead we did not link to the deed as
it is more or less the same as our license template. 
In order to be consistent and to avoid several places of config I had proposed
above that you link to our license templates at commons instead - so you have
diverted the task to them. And actually - those templates are that what is on
the file page after uploader. That is what the uploader should see before
upload because it will be there after upload and we want to make sure that he
made a thoughtful decision by placing THIS template an the file.
