Daniel has acknowledged that we can add a CC-BY-SA 3.0 notice:

<ulm> drobbins: ping                                                    [14:42]
<ulm> drobbins: is it o.k. if we add a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license notice to GLEP 4?   
                                                                        [14:43]
<ulm> (that's the old Gentoo metastructure proposal from 2003 :)        [14:44]
<ulm> would be great if you could acknowledge it (or nack, if you disagree) in
      https://bugs.gentoo.org/636358                                    [14:45]
<drobbins> ulm: yes it's fine                                           [17:18]


Side remark: doc/en/management-structure.xml (which contains virtually the same text as GLEP 4) had a CC-BY-SA 1.0 license notice: https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en/management-structure.xml?revision=1.9&view=markup
