Actually I understand that the ftpmasters have approved content licensed
under CC 3.0, which is widely considered to be free (one of the
obviously free licenses, not a -NC one), and this defines what is
considered free software by Debian.

Debian as an organization has no official position about this, but you
will find that many regular debian-legal@ contributors share this
opinion. (But then, the opinion of these people are rarely considered
balanced.)

Use CC.
