From 39154843dfaa9275d1628e0593a164f6a442b7cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:18:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cc-by-sa-4.0: Weaken "same license" to mention compatibility The human-readable summary uses "same license" [1], but also links to a page listing other compatible licenses [2], and the license text includes a compatible-license alternative [3,4]. This commit links to that same set of compatible licenses using Mike's wording [5].
