I agree with the consensus. I would add that the use of "Creative Commons"
by itself (e.g. "this is published under a Creative Commons licence" ) is
frequent and can be seriously misleading. Licensors should always state the
exact variant of the licence.

I'd also suggest we point out that CC-* is a complete legal statement of
the terms of use and that any additional material is likely to be
inconsistent or irrelevant or unnecessary.
