Attribution

The "Attribution" only license is the "freest" Creative Commons license, which allows free use and the creation of derivative works (e.g. arrangements).

This is roughly equivalent to the BSD license for software.

Attribution 1.0
Attribution 2.5
Attribution 3.0 Unported
Attribution 4.0

Specific national jurisdictions

Attribution 3.0 Australia
Attribution 3.0 Germany

Attribution-Share Alike

The "Attribution-Share Alike" license also allows free use, but requires that derivative works are also distributed under the Share-Alike license.

This is roughly equivalent to the GNU General Public license for software.

Attribution-Share Alike 1.0 Generic
Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic
Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 Generic
Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported

Specific national jurisdictions

Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Australia

Attribution-Noncommercial

The other licenses either forbid free usage ("Noncommercial") or the creation of derivative works ("No Derivative Works") or both. So "Noncommercial - No Derivative Works" is quite close to "All rights reserved".
