CC license applies to the documentation only.
At the same time, I think you have to consider what the nature of some protection is that Pantone wants or has control over. Since a part of their business is the selling of swatchbooks, they don't want any competition in that regard, so you would have to be careful about some commercial use which bypasses that. I would be careful about distributing to others some personal swatchbook which applies to Pantone colors for that reason. This is why we do not include their palette with Scribus. However, the inclusion of a Pantone spot color specification in a PDF is not anything they would have any interest in interfering with, so specifying Pantone inks is not an issue.
