LICENSES: Remove CC-BY-SA-4.0 license text
From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Oct 18 2018 - 02:22:39 EST
Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic,
as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2
licensed and thus not compatible.
Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid
people semi-accidentally using it again.

-Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and
-does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative
-Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other
-relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related information
-available on an "as-is" basis. Creative Commons gives no warranties

-Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
-
-Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
-conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share original
-works of authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain
-other rights specified in the public license below. The following
-considerations are for informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and
-do not form part of our licenses.
-
-Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are intended for use by
-those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways
-otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses
-are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and
-conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should
-also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the
-public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark
-any material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed
-material, or material used under an exception or limitation to
-copyright. More considerations for licensors :

-
-Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a
-licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under
-specified terms and conditions. If the licensor's permission is not
-necessary for any reason - for example, because of any applicable exception
-or limitation to copyright - then that use is not regulated by the
-license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
-other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed
-material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because
-others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make
-special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
-
-Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those
-requests where reasonable. More considerations for the public :

- Rights.

- Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
- non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
- exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
-
- A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
-
- B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
-

- technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives
- and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You
- from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the
- Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to
- circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of
- this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by
- this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
-
- 5. Downstream recipients.
-
- A. Offer from the Licensor - Licensed Material. Every recipient
- of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer
- from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the
- terms and conditions of this Public License.

- recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically
- receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed
- Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the
- Adapter's License You apply.
-
- C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any
- additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
- Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material
- if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any
- recipient of the Licensed Material.
-
- 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
- may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are,
- or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or
- sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor
- or others designated to receive attribution as provided in
- Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
-
- b. Other rights.
-
- 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed
- under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or
- other similar personality rights; however, to the extent
- possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any
- such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary
- to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
-
- 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public
- License.

- royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights,

- right to collect such royalties.

- reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
- hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.
-
- 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the

- extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of
- the contents of the database;
-
- b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents
- in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then
- the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not
- its individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes
- of Section 3(b); and
-
- c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all
- or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
-
- For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
- replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
- Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
-

- most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all
- liability.

- Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
- this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
- terminate automatically.

- Section 6(a), it reinstates:

- is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
-
- 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
-
- c. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
- right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of
- this Public License.
