First of all, these aren't software licenses. Second, we are talking about a very specific CC license. Not just any license. We are talking about the CC Attribution. And *that* license is a free (non-software) license: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html Scroll to the bottom. It says that the CC Attribution is "a non-copyleft Free license". The CC attribution license is the most free license available from Creative Commons. Finally, this license is *more* free than the PDL. I can't imagine anyone considering the PDL free and the CC-Attribution non-free. Do you have the email address for debian-legal ?
