Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0

[Albert Astals Cid-2]

Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 seems to be DFSG compliant, would
it be possible to add it as valid license for images in
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy?

Lots of wikimedia common images are under this license and people keep sending
them to me to be added to kgeography and i keep saying them we can't accept
them, but i don't really see why we shouldn't.

The two problems are distro acceptance and multiple licences making
mixing impossible.  If Debian is fine with it and no other distro has
issues that could well be fine.  Then we'd need a form of works to
ensure it was only used on material which was unlikely to have any
need to be mixed with other material, e.g. standalone images which are
not icons (and certainly not code).

Seems fedora[1] is also ok with it and the fedora page says the FSF is ok with
it too, so i'd really want this to be added.

I added this into the licencing draft.  It also has the addition for
cmake modules to be BSD like.

If there's no complains in a week or so I'll copy it over to the policy.
