It would need to be machine-readable for tools like http://search.creativecommons.org/ to do their job: check the license against the engine's built-in knowledge of some licenses, and figure out if it is suitable for the usages the user has requested (like "search for content I can build upon" or "search for content I can use commercialy"). Ideally, a search engine should have enough with finding the video on either Tara's site *or* Paul's blog for it to be available for users. Just my two cents.
