cc-by-sa-4.0: Weaken "same license" to mention compatibility

Browse Source 
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].
