license-count numbers:

CC-BY 1.0 2
CC-BY 2.0 3
CC-BY 2.511
CC-BY 3.0   165
CC-BY 4.028
CC-BY-SA 1.0  3
CC-BY-SA 2.0 44
CC-BY-SA 2.5 14
CC-BY-SA 3.0285
CC-BY-SA 4.0 61

Looks like both CC-BY 3.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0 would warrant inclusion.  Note
that the regexes in license-count may not be perfect; I'm not completely
familiar with all the variations the CC licenses can take.

Seconded (for CC-SA-3.0 unported).  Seconded only for that license; I
don't mean this to imply that we have consensus to include the texts
of all Creative Commons licenses in base-files!

Thanks,
