4aeb4b25b2 compliance-guide.tex was originally downloaded from the following URL:
http://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-guide.tex

Since I am herein committing an Adaptation of this compliance-guide.tex work
(this commit includes a one-line change made from the version as downloaded
above), this is now an Adaptation as defined by CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §1(a).

I am thus hereby permitted, per CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §4(b)(ii), to relicense
this work under CC-By-SA-4.0, because CC-By-SA has the same License Elements
as CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported.  (Therefore, in this case, §4(b)(ii) defines the
"Applicable License" as CC-By-SA-4.0.)

Specifically, the following license text appears in compliance-guide.tex:

  Copyright \copyright{} 2008, Software Freedom Law Center.  Licensed
  \href{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/legalcode}{CC-BY-SA
  3.0 unported}.

Here are the actions I took to comply with CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §4(b)(ii):

  §4(b)(I):   Since the Applicable License is CC-By-SA-4.0, I've now included
              the URI and reference to the copy of CC-By-SA-4.0 in this
              repository as well.

  §4(b)(II):  No additional conditions are imposed.

  §4(b)(III): This term is confusing.  It claims I must "keep intact all
              notices that refer to the Applicable License".  Of course, the
              Applicable License is now the new version of the license, so it
              seems reasonable to interpret this clause as to allow, and
              almost instruct, a change in reference to the 3.0 license to
              the 4.0 license.  However, that's not explicitly allowed for in
              this section, but I can't come to any reasonable interpretation
              of the clause other than updating the notice to refer to the
              new license.

  §4(b)(IV):  No technological measures are imposed.
