Additional licenses e.g. Creative Commons, OSI-approved licenses.

I was on tldrlegal.com looking for a license for a piece of work and the one I settled on was the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial v3 licence. lice doesn't support this license and there's also a few on the list of OSI-approved licenses that aren't supported.
I was wondering if there was any criteria by which licenses are put into lice. I'm guessing at this point, the focus has been on popular, open-source licences. I'd be happy to add the Creative Commons ones if they're are eligible.
I'm fine with any type of license (free, non-free, proprietary) as long as it is something that is commonly used. I just don't want a bunch of license files hanging around if only one person is using it.
Unfortunately, Creative Commons itself doesn't recommend using their licenses for software. So I don't think they'd be good fit for lice right now. HOWEVER, I would be open to it if there was an argument to be made that lice could be used for non-software purposes too.
Thinking about it more, CC might be good to include. It can still be useful for licensing non-software assets and data.
Just merged. Thanks again!
