Quoting drew Roberts <zotz AT 100jamz.com>:

The FSF sayd the original BSD is Free but not GPL compatible IIRC. Yes:

http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses

If they think BY and BY-SA are non-Free, can you tell us why?

The FSF?

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OtherLicenses

"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. ;-)
