OK, I've had a long conversation with the LF lawyer, and she said clearly
that we really should not be introducing CC-SA material into the kernel
source tree. It's a pain; I really do like CC-SA better for
documentation, but it's not GPL-compatible, and that creates a problem for
the processed docs.
