"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saw in the yet unpublished "3710-obsolete" memo.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.
