The latter is the closest. AFAIK the thread was about making icons &
metadata for licenses other than CC's, as in

http://creativecommons.org/license/cc-gpl

|     Yes, of course. Because "freedom defined" doesn't create licenses,
they

certain

|
|     CC has a vested interest in promoting its own licenses, no matter how
|     well-intentioned it or its representatives are.
