The notice got changed to this:

http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/15958

or:

"""

Openstreetmap project is to be (non-exclusively) licensed under <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">this Creative
Commons license (by-sa)</a>
"""

Can I please change it to:

"""

Openstreetmap project is to be (non-exclusively) licensed under <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">the Creative
Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license</a>
"""

Every time you make the anchor text of a hyperlink refer to the link
itself a HTML fairy dies.
