[Orion Pobursky]

The following is the final draft of the CAReadme.txt for the CC BY 4.0 conversion:

This is being provided for comment and discussion prior to final implementation.

Assuming there are no show stoppers, I am targeting the 2023-01 (Mid January 2023) release for implementation. That release will have a complete re-release of the library will the 0 !LICENSE lines changed as appropriate.

For those who are curious, we're currently at about 64% of all parts and part edits that are 4.0 authorized. How that shakes out to % of parts that will be entirely 4.0 remains be determined. However, the library will never be completely 4.0 since at least 1 very prolific author has passed away and efforts to contact his estate have come to a dead end. Given the age of the library, I doubt this is the only case.

First thing I noticed is the lack of paragraphs.

You probably lost all the line endings during the post?

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to add a "pre" tag. Should be fixed now.

The old CAlicense.txt should be renamed to CAlicense2.txt to better distinguish it from CAlicense4.txt.
