My apologies for not finding bug 562920. Personally, my criteria would be
whether inclusion of these licenses would reduces bloat. Since these licenses
are used in multiple packages, it would already reduce bloat in the archive by
several MB (compressed). The CC licenses are used in a few packages included by
both Gnome and KDE desktops (gnome-icon-theme and shared-desktop-ontologies),
but not in any base installation paackages, so the impact on the average user's
free disk space would be negligable.
