As we only have 1 user of this, do we really need it?

Willy, it's your file, Documentation/core-api/idr.rst that is needing
this addition to the LICENSES directory.  While I'm all for CC licenses
for Documentation, we don't seem to be very consistent with them.
Should this be the "default" license we choose for documentation for now
on?
