The previous version had a link to http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses in
the middle column that's somewhat useful.  Let's link the word "license" in the
second intro paragraph to that.

The form looks a little wide now; add CSS to constrain the gray boxed form to be
the same width it was before.

I think that's fine with respect to the GET parameters.

Removed the bar, and added the language drop down list.

Note: the javascript for the language SELECT will cause the page to lose any GET
params that were previously there, does the license engine index page utilize
any other GET params?

+1 if killing the sidebar means killing the entire sidebar

Current top text reads:

With a Creative Commons license, you keep your copyright but allow people to
copy and distribute your work provided they give you credit — and only on the
conditions you specify here. For those new to Creative Commons licensing, we've
prepared a list of things to think about. If you want to offer your work with no
conditions or you want to certify a work as public domain, choose one of our
public domain tools.

Current sidebar text reads:

Creative Commons helps you publish your work online while letting others know
exactly what they can and can't do with your work. When you choose a license, we
provide you with tools and tutorials that let you add license information to
your own site, or to one of several free hosting services that have incorporated
Creative Commons.

Suggestion:

* Kill the sidebar completely
* Change the intro text to read:

When you choose a license, we provide you with HTML you can use to add the
license information to your site and information on how to select a license on
one of several free hosting services that have incorporated Creative Commons. 
This is not a registration and we do not retain a record of your selection.

Hey Nathan(s), do you want to tackle this one while Issue 252 is in progress?

Issue 252: http://code.creativecommons.org/issues/issue252

The introductory text on http://creativecommons.org/license should clearly
explain that users are selecting a license, not generating one.
