Include the version number of the license in the tag. For some of
them, we have reason to think that future versions may be free (since
most of them don't have upgrade clauses, that will not fix the bug; an
upload of some kind will be required for that) - but CC-SA2.0 will
always be non-free.

It would be a nuisance to have to update all the tags in the future.
