Okay, it looks to me like the reference to CC-BY-SA 1.0 came from Nathan (commit ef7418421b3748c712019c8aedd02b8005c1e1ea, September 2015), and he points at the COPYING file, which was set in commit ed0653b493a3f919a3abc37a0aa9b5aa29ae0b0e by Sage (acting for Inktank, who at the time probably owned all the doc licenses?). Guys, any thoughts about how this happened? Was there an explicit version chosen by anybody, or did Nathan just fill it in with 1.0? Looking at the shortlog summary, there have been plenty of one-off contributions but not many people we'd need to worry about as a practical matter. :) -Greg > If some of documents(especially the manpages) are CC-BY-SA 1.0, here I > kindly ask you to change it to CC-BY-SA 3.0 or other DSFG-free[6] > license. > > For CC-BY-SA 1.0, it's not DFSG free.
