The FSF?

"There is literally no specific freedom that all Creative Commons licenses
grant. Therefore, to say that a work "uses a Creative Commons license" is to
leave all important questions about the work's licensing unanswered. When you
see such a statement, please suggest making it clearer. And if someone
proposes
to "use a Creative Commons license" for a certain work, it is vital to ask
immediately "Which one?""
All CC licenses allow noncommercial copying. And the FSF currently
publish three
licenses and are proposing to add at least one more. ;-)
