Add explicit explanation of CC-BY-SA-4.0 adherence before changes.

Browse source 
In my experience, there is some confusion in the community about how
CC-By-SA-4.0 works.  For example, some consider it plagiarism to
repurpose works as permitted by the license.  Since my experiences
with such accusations, I always take great care to carefully list out
the methods by which a modified/adapted CC-BY-SA-4.0 work complies
with §3(a)(A).  I do that first and maintain it thereafter.

After all, bare minimum adherence to Free licenses is not what we in
the copyleft-next project seek — we seek exuberant adherence that
goes above and beyond to make adaptation, modification, and
improvement as easy as possible for downstream.
