Inconsistent reference to license for docs #197

Open swinslow opened 6 years ago

Hello,

The README.md and LICENSE.docs files are inconsistent about which license applies to the libkv documentation.

The README.md file says that docs are: "...licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License under the terms and conditions set forth in the file "LICENSE.docs". You may obtain a duplicate copy of the same license, titled CC-BY-SA-4.0, at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/."

The bolded items say that the docs license is CC-BY-SA-4.0 (and that's the text in the LICENSE.docs file), but the italicized items say that it is CC-BY-4.0 (which is a different license).

If the intent is for the docs license to be CC-BY-4.0, could the following changes be made?

  1. The LICENSE.docs file should likely be replaced with the CC-BY-4.0 license text, available from https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.txt

  2. The bolded reference above to CC-BY-SA-4.0 in README.md should likely be changed to CC-BY-4.0.

Thank you!
