Hi,

as discussed on debian-devel [1] I would like to request that more DFSG
licenses are added to /usr/share/common-licenses and that package
maintainers are allowed to reference them.

License: CC-BY-3.0
Source: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
Example packages:

Regards,

Markus

Hello,

Please check for pre-existing books!  Thanks.

don't mean this to imply that we have consensus to include the texts
of all Creative Commons licenses in base-files!

Thanks,

CC-BY 3.0               165
CC-BY 4.0                28

CC-BY-SA 2.0             44
CC-BY-SA 2.5             14
CC-BY-SA 3.0            285
CC-BY-SA 4.0             61

Looks like both CC-BY 3.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0 would warrant inclusion.  Note
that the regexes in license-count may not be perfect; I'm not completely
familiar with all the variations the CC licenses can take.
