Thanks for the various replies.
I had hoped that there might be a "license:" filter in MediaWiki (or
CirrusSearch, etc) that worked semantically rather than just using
string matching (i.e. syntactically).
If anyone does know of such a thing - perhaps via Wikidata? - please let
me know. Thanks again!
Now, some comments on the suggestions :)

Thanks for this. It's a good reminder to me to learn the CirrusSearch
filters.

CC-BY, refer to

If you were looking for the generic {{CC-BY-4.0}} you can use the category <
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:CC-BY-4.0>
So using the category that 'cats' redirects to, and putting this into
catscan gives:

To get more, you can swap in CC-BY-3.0 etc.
Nice. I wasn't aware of the "Quick Intersection" tool :)

Thanks, all!
