Actually none of the CC licenses are DFSG "free."

The next published version of the Author Guide contains the following
(please excuse the DocBook tags, hopefully everyone can read around them):
<title>Licensing and Copyright</title>
In order for a document to be accepted by the LDP,
it must be licensed and conform to the <quote>LICENSE
REQUIREMENTS</quote> section of the LDP Manifesto located at <ulink
url="http://www.tldp.org/manifesto.html">http://www.tldp.org/manifesto.html</ulink>.
<para> We recommend using the <ulink
url="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation
License (GFDL)</ulink>, one of the <ulink
url="http://www.creativecommons.org/license">Creative Commons
Licenses</ulink> (<ulink url="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/">Share-Alike</
ulink>, or <ulink url="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">Attribution-Share-Alike</
ulink>), or the LDP license (currently under review). The
full text of the license must be included in your document, including
the title and version of the license you are using. The LDP will not
accept new documents that do not meet licensing requirements.</para>
<warning>
<title>Debian-compatible licenses</title>
<para>Debian has branched the LDP documents into those with a <quote>free</quote> license
and those with a <quote>non-free</quote> license. For a summary of this list, please read <ulink
url="http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/byname">Debian License Summaries</ulink>. Currently the
Artistic License, BSD License and the GNU General Public License are listed as <quote>free</quote>.
These licenses will also be accepted by the LDP.</para>
</warning>
Please let me know if there are additional changes to be made to this
section.
thanks,
emma
