+Creative Commons publishes many licenses which are
+very different. Therefore, to say that a work “uses a Creative
+Commons license” is to leave the principal questions about the
+work's licensing unanswered. When you see such a statement in a work,
+please ask the author to change the work to state clearly and
+visibly <em>which</em>of the Creative Commons license it uses. And if
+someone proposes to “use a Creative Commons license” for a
+certain work, it is vital to ask “Which Creative Commons
+license?” before proceeding any further.</p></dd>
