Re-license RITlug Runbook as CC-BY-SA 4.0 + MPL 2.0 #31

Closed jwflory closed 6 years ago

jwflory commented 6 years ago

This commit sets the licensing of the RITlug Runbook to a dual-license project.

Technical contributions

Code, scripts, or any machine-read content is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

In the event any serious code or technical content is added to the Runbook, it will be the handiwork of one of a RITlug eboard member or community member. The MPL is chosen and selected to promise that the project built here will remain open source and anyone who makes changes to our Runbook code must also open source their changes. This is a help to our members to make their work more visible if reused.

Actual Runbook pages / content

Most of the content in this repo is not code or scripts, but written guidance and instruction. This content is valuable and interesting, and how we set up our Runbook is unique. We want to share our content with the wider open source community but also maintain that anyone reusing our content or using it to build their own documentation must distribute derivative works under an open license and retain attribution to the RITlug Runbook.

This is also to benefit the publicity of work done by students and to encourage a positive example implemented by other communities.

Approval

This pull request requires approval by all four of the Runbook's contributors to be carried. Those four people, by GitHub username, are:

The only real reason this was CC0 was because a lot of the other club content is as well. As long as we don't close everything up, I'm cool with changing to a license that makes sure derivatives keep with the spirit of the work and organization.
