   Hi.

   The use of CC-BY-SA-2.5 in those files only pertains to docstrings/comments. Would it be feasible for you to strip them, or would that cause problems due to checksums?

   Also, is the problem with any CC-BY-SA, or just version 2.5? The MDN states that

   Unless otherwise indicated, the content is available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC-BY-SA), v2.5 or any later version.

   So we should be able to update

   go-js-dom/dom.go

   Lines 21 to 23 in 00dae51

   	// The documentation for some of the identifiers is based on the
   	// MDN Web Docs by Mozilla Contributors (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API),
   	// licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.5 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/).

   to include "or any later version", too.

   Thanks for the quick reply,

   CC license in version 4.0 is considered to be compatible to the DFSG.

   If you could make it clear that this is a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, that would be great.

   Thanks!

   @fvcr I've updated the comments. This should be acceptable for you, right?

   Hi @dominikh, sorry for the delay.

   What do you think about licensing it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license?

   "CC-BY-SA 2.5 or later" subsumes "CC-BY-SA 4.0". I don't see why we'd have to make it stricter than necessary. You're free to call it CC-BY-SA 4.0 on your end.
