That would be just about everything.

Inclusion in the Library of Congress is automatic for all
works with a
registered copyright in the US (i.e. submitting a copy is
part of the
registration process).

Since 1978 though, registration has not been necessary to
claim
copyright status, so there are many unregistered works
today.

Inducing all of those works to be under CC licenses would be
a strong
incentive to *not* register, which would be BAD.
