That is too simplified. "Use creative commons" doesn't mean anything.  
CC means "some rights reserved", so which one would you propose?

We will have to put everything under *a* CC license, just to be  
explicit about which rights we give. But as you said we will have to  
decide if it's all under the same, or if there need to be options.

For those who are not familiar with CC, please watch the short intro  
video at

Personally I would put everything that is accessible to the public  
under the "Attribution-Share Alike" CC license just like the Scratch  
folks do (who for sure had a highly paid lawyer look at that):

No options is much simpler, and encourages contributions IMHO.
