This is an artifact of how you're building the documentation. Easy to
miss given the makefile complexity :)

If you look at the generated versions on clusterlabs.org, they have the
correct license (CC-BY-SA), e.g.:

http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-pcs/html/Pacemaker_Explained/index.html

However if you do not "make brand" before building the documentation,
you will get the publican defaults.
