Not sure but just noting that this Board resolution:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/15Oct2012BoardMinutes#Approval_of_the_CCBY_License_for_Documentation.

does not indicate a version, and at the time of the resolution 3.0 was
the latest version and CC BY 4.0 hadn't been released yet.
