"Creative Commons" is fine for _new_ content. Saying nothing
is of course also fine, then you'd simply have the copyright.
"Creative Commons" allows for at least three restrictions:
BY - by attribution, others may copy it, but must give credits
SA - share alike, they can use it, if they share their content
NC - non-commercial, all rights reserved for commercial uses
IANAL. I'd stay away from NC if there's no problem with any
commercial uses. BY+SA is what I like best. That's what you
saw in the yet unpublished "3710-obsolete" memo.
There are some tricks to use CC in the HTML-meta-data, but I'm
not familiar with these aspects. As always with legal affairs:
Any statement is potentially more dangerous than no statement
at all for ordinary users.
