license-count numbers:

CC-BY 1.0                 2
CC-BY 2.0                 3
CC-BY 2.5                11
CC-BY 3.0               165
CC-BY 4.0                28
CC-BY-SA 1.0              3
CC-BY-SA 2.0             44
CC-BY-SA 2.5             14
CC-BY-SA 3.0            285
CC-BY-SA 4.0             61

Looks like both CC-BY 3.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0 would warrant inclusion.  Note
that the regexes in license-count may not be perfect; I'm not completely
familiar with all the variations the CC licenses can take.
