>From both a legal _and_ usability point of view, the current templates aren't
ideal, because 1) they don't include the full text of the human-readable deed
(i.e. the "With the understanding that.." portion), 2) they are, as Neil says,
two clicks away from the legal code. 

The templates could be changed to link to the legal code (and that's a change
you'd be well-positioned to make, Saibo, and it would be a good one), but even
if they are, the templates are likely always going to be an abbreviated version
of the full deed.

For the purposes of choosing a license, linking at least to the full, official
deed which in turn always links to the full (English-only) legal code seems
like the most sensible option.

The actual license names already have i18n messages, so how about adding a
<messagekey>-url message for each license URL? Then translations of the deeds
could be localized as appropriate, and would default to English if no localized
version is available.
