You are wrong. What the CC does is write the notions of what a particular
license is in language that is valid in that jurisdiction. This is distinct
from what you find in GPL and GFDL where one size is to fit all. The idea is
to be true to what the license expresses. The idea is that the license in
essence is the same where ever.
