RMS has withdrawn explicit support for the Creative Commons project (though he recognizes it is a “better” option than the mainstream) because CC has added several new licence options (to the original six), at least one of which, in rms’s view, do not do an adequate job of protecting freedom.

Uh. Lessig sits inthe board of FSF. Knowing the absolute dedication of RMS this came as no surprise. I do agree that CC is drifting away from the core mission by adding new licenses.
