Ordering the licenses depends how one defines "freedom". You keep more
creative
rights over time with copyleft than you give away economic rights with pd or
pd-figleaf licenses (like BSD), for example.
Possibly since PD, BSD (or BY, attribution aside) and copyleft are all
FSF-Free
and DFSG-Free we could avoid a meltdown by agreeing that all three are "free
enough". NC and ND would be "less free", and ARR would be "fair use only". Or
something.
