Research direction
Read README.md and LICENSE.docs to compare the stated license names and text. Confirm with maintainers whether CC-BY-4.0 or CC-BY-SA-4.0 is intended before editing. Done means the license file and all README.md references consistently identify the agreed license.

Description
Hello,
The README.md and LICENSE.docs files are inconsistent about which license applies to the libkv documentation.
The README.md file says that docs are:
"...licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License under the terms and conditions set forth in the file "LICENSE.docs". You may obtain a duplicate copy of the same license, titled CC-BY-SA-4.0, at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/."
The bolded items say that the docs license is CC-BY-SA-4.0 (and that's the text in the LICENSE.docs file), but the italicized items say that it is CC-BY-4.0 (which is a different license).
If the intent is for the docs license to be CC-BY-4.0, could the following changes be made?
-
The LICENSE.docs file should likely be replaced with the CC-BY-4.0 license text, available from https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.txt
-
The bolded reference above to CC-BY-SA-4.0 in README.md should likely be changed to CC-BY-4.0.
Thank you!
