I added the aforementioned license (CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0-US) to the Creative Commons list. Divya came across a project with this license and we would like to raise a discussion on whether we should include this as a license to accept.

Here are the projects that Divya came across with this license:

MIT Blossoms (https://blossoms.mit.edu/terms_use),

Khan Academy (https://support.khanacademy.org/hc/en-us/articles/202262954-Can-I-use-Khan-Academy-s-videos-name-materials-link-on-my-site-)

I added the aforementioned license to the Creative Commons list. Divya came across a project with this license and we would like to raise a discussion on whether we should include this as a license to accept.

Just got feedback from Creative Commons:

The "US" denotes it was the United States "port" of the license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/
We don't port licenses to different national jurisdictions any more.
All of the 4.0 (and going forward) licenses are international.
For policy - including the DPG Standard - we always recommend using the most current version of the CC license in question.

For our DPG vetting:
I suggest that we allow older versions of the CC licenses as DPGs, but that we advise projects that are in the process of choosing a license, to use the latest version of the CC licenses.
