ask bunnies: If somethin's creative commons licensed in the US, can I use it in the UK? Or do I have to ask? I'm pretty sure I have to ask. I'm also pretty sure that if something in the UK is creative commons licensed that license doesn't apply to Scotland b/c we have a different legal system here. Am I right?→[More:]

thanks buns! i am such a dork at this stuff.

All of the Creative Commons licenses grant a "worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license". The country-specific ones are simply there to cope with the different legal systems in the licensor's country, not the licensee's.
