"creative commons license" is extremely broad.

It includes everything from "All rights reserved" to
variants of the "MIT" license and the "GPL" license.
Except of course, that almost all of the CC licenses
are GPL incompatible, even when they are "free" (which
most are not by DFSG or OSI standards).

*Some* people use "creative commons license" to mean the
"creative commons attribution-sharealike license", but
would you trust a Microsoft rep to mean that? I wouldn't.
