Description

This is more of a question for Matt, but I just noticed while looking in the site footer that our Creative Commons license is using the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US) license:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/

The Creative Commons now has a version 4.0 license and doesn't have regional restrictions anymore:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

Should we consider switching to the latest version of the license? Here are the major changes to version 4:
https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Version_4

Or is the reason why we stick to version 3 due to the US regional restriction?
