NAK.  We should not add random new licenses to the kernel tree.

The Data Structures & Algorithsm book claims to be licensed under
CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later.  Can we stretch that to mergigin it into the
kernel under CC-BY-SA 4.0, which is already conveniently in LICENSES/ ?

Given these patches are all CC-BY-SA-3.0+ (i.e. they have an "or
later" clause in them), and the kernel already has
LICENSES/other/CC-BY-SA-4.0, why not just put them under the license
that the kernel already supports?

Cheers,

Dave.

Ok, will do.  I'll repost the whole thing w/ changed SPDX headers if I
don't hear anything else. :)

+CREATIVE COMMONS CORPORATION IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL
+SERVICES. DISTRIBUTION OF THIS LICENSE DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT
+RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS.
+CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND
+DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ITS USE.
+
+License
+
+THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
+COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS PROTECTED BY
+COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS
+AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.
+
+BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE
+BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS LICENSE MAY BE
+CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE
+IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
+
+1. Definitions
+
+    a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and
+       other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, derivative
+       work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a literary or
+       artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic
+       adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be recast,
+       transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably derived from
+       the original, except that a work that constitutes a Collection will not
+       be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this License. For the
+       avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work, performance or
+       phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a
+       moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation for the
+       purpose of this License.
+
+    b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such
+       as encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or
+       broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed in
+       Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of
+       their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in which the Work is
+       included in its entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other
+       contributions, each constituting separate and independent works in
+       themselves, which together are assembled into a collective whole. A work
+       that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation (as
+       defined below) for the purposes of this License.
+
+   c. "Creative Commons Compatible License" means a license that is listed
+       at http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses that has been approved
+       by Creative Commons as being essentially equivalent to this License,
+       including, at a minimum, because that license: (i) contains terms that
+       have the same purpose, meaning and effect as the License Elements of
+       this License; and, (ii) explicitly permits the relicensing of
+       adaptations of works made available under that license under this
+       License or a Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same License
+       Elements as this License.
+
+    d. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and
+       copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or other
+       transfer of ownership.
+
+    e. "License Elements" means the following high-level license attributes as
+       selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of this License:
+       Attribution, ShareAlike.
+
+    f. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that
+       offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
+
+    g. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work,
+       the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work or
+       if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in
+       addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers,
+       musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim,
+       play in, interpret or otherwise perform literary or artistic works or
+       expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer
+       being the person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a
+       performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the
+       organization that transmits the broadcast.
+
+   h. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the
+       terms of this License including without limitation any production in the
+       literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or
+       form of its expression including digital form, such as a book, pamphlet
+       and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same
+       nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work or
+       entertainment in dumb show; a musical composition with or without words;
+       a cinematographic work to which are assimilated works expressed by a
+       process analogous to cinematography; a work of drawing, painting,
+       architecture, sculpture, engraving or lithography; a photographic work
+       to which are assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to
+       photography; a work of applied art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch
+       or three-dimensional work relative to geography, topography,
+       architecture or science; a performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a
+       compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable
+       work; or a work performed by a variety or circus performer to the extent
+       it is not otherwise considered a literary or artistic work.
+
+    i. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
+       License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
+       respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
+       Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
+       violation.
+
+    j. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work
+       and to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means
+       or process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital
+       performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that
+       members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a place
+       individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public by any
+       means or process and the communication to the public of the performances
+       of the Work, including by public digital performance; to broadcast and
+       rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs, sounds or images.
+
+    k. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
+       without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of
+       fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a
+       protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic
+       medium.
+
+2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit,
+   or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations
+   or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright
+   protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
+
+3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
+   hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for
+   the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in
+   the Work as stated below:
+
+    a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
+       Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
+       Collections;
+
+    b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such
+       Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable
+       steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes
+       were made to the original Work. For example, a translation could be
+       marked "The original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a
+       modification could indicate "The original work has been modified.";
+
+    c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
+       in Collections; and,
+
+    d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
+
+    e. For the avoidance of doubt:
+
+        i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions
+           in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+           compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves
+           the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by
+           You of the rights granted under this License;
+
+       ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
+           which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
+           compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the
+           exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of
+           the rights granted under this License; and,
+
+      iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to
+           collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the
+           Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers
+           voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise by
+           You of the rights granted under this License.
+
+   The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known
+   or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
+   modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
+   media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly granted
+   by Licensor are hereby reserved.
+
+4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
+   subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
+
+    a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms
+       of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
+       Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You
+       Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on
+       the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the
+       recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient
+       under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You
+       must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
+       disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute or
+       Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You
+       may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that
+       restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the
+       rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This
+       Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but
+       this does not require the Collection apart from the Work itself to be
+       made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collection,
+       upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
+       remove from the Collection any credit as required by Section 4(c), as
+       requested. If You create an Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor
+       You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any
+       credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested.
+
+    b. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the
+       terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License with
+       the same License Elements as this License; (iii) a Creative Commons
+       jurisdiction license (either this or a later license version) that
+       contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g.,
+       Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US)); (iv) a Creative Commons Compatible
+       License. If you license the Adaptation under one of the licenses
+       mentioned in (iv), you must comply with the terms of that license. If
+       you license the Adaptation under the terms of any of the licenses
+       mentioned in (i), (ii) or (iii) (the "Applicable License"), you must
+       comply with the terms of the Applicable License generally and the
+       following provisions: (I) You must include a copy of, or the URI for,
+       the Applicable License with every copy of each Adaptation You Distribute
+       or Publicly Perform; (II) You may not offer or impose any terms on the
+       Adaptation that restrict the terms of the Applicable License or the
+       ability of the recipient of the Adaptation to exercise the rights
+       granted to that recipient under the terms of the Applicable License;
+       (III) You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable
+       License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work
+       as included in the Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (IV)
+       when You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Adaptation, You may not
+       impose any effective technological measures on the Adaptation that
+       restrict the ability of a recipient of the Adaptation from You to
+       exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the
+       Applicable License. This Section 4(b) applies to the Adaptation as
+       incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection
+       apart from the Adaptation itself to be made subject to the terms of the
+       Applicable License.
+
+    c. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
+       Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to
+       Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and
+       provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the
+       name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied,
+       and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or
+       parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
+       attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
+       terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or
+       parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent
+       reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be
+       associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the
+       copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and (iv),
+       consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit
+       identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French
+       translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on
+       original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by this Section
+       4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however,
+       that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit
+       will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation
+       or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at
+       least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.
+       For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this
+       Section for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and,
+       by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or
+       explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or
+       endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties,
+       as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate,
+       express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or
+       Attribution Parties.
+
+    d. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
+       otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
+       Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations
+       or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other
+       derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to
+       the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those
+       jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted
+       in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make Adaptations) would be
+       deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory
+       action prejudicial to the Original Author's honor and reputation, the
+       Licensor will waive or not assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the
+       fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You
+       to reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License
+       (right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise.
+
+5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
+
+UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS
+THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
+CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
+WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
+ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE.
+SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH
+EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN
+   NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
+   INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS
+   LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+   POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+7. Termination
+
+    a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
+       automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
+       Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections
+       from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses
+       terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full
+       compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will
+       survive any termination of this License.
+
+    b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here
+       is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
+       Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the
+       Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at
+       any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
+       withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
+       required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
+       License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as
+       stated above.
+
+8. Miscellaneous
+
+    a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a
+       Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work
+       on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under
+       this License.
+
+    b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
+       offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms
+       and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
+
+    c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
+       applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
+       the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action
+       by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to
+       the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
+       enforceable.
+
+    d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
+       breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing
+       and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
+
+    e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
+       with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings,
+       agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified
+       here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may
+       appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified
+       without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You.
+
+    f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
+       License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention
+       for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on
+       September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright
+       Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and
