On the CC web site -- all of the licenses are defined there.

There's been a short discussion on the list for the Digital Public  
Library of america about the fact that there is no reliable provenance  
in CC licenses. They at least need to be digitally signed. So this  
"who" question is inherent in CC.

That said, the libraries that issued the datasets are the ones that  
set the CC0 license, as stated in their blog post. We can contact Mace  
about the BY on OKFN -- I assume it is in error.
