Attribution

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

This is roughly equivalent to the BSD license for software.

Attribution 1.0

Attribution 2.5

Attribution 3.0 Unported

Specific national jurisdictions

Attribution 2.5 Australia

Attribution 3.0 Germany

Attribution-Share Alike

The "Attribution-Share Alike" license also allows free use, but requires for derived works that they also be 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 2.5 Australia

Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Germany

Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Germany

Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States

Attribution-Noncommercial

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