No, not really unless I missed something. What is called for is a meta button 
that would to me cover BY and BY-SA licenses. It would be nice if some 
support "areas" were set up by CC for this as well. A Free CC list, etc.

Certainly, license specific icons are a big improvement over the generic 
icons.
