RFC: License #3

Closed avivace closed 3 years ago

avivace commented 3 years ago

Which license should we apply to the produced assets (figures and text)?

LunarLambda commented 3 years ago

I see no particular reason not to publish it in the public domain (or any other license that will ensure the information stays freely accessible forever)

quentin-dev commented 3 years ago

I agree with @LunarLambda, it could also be nice to have the license guarantee that we're credited as the original authors if the assets are ever forked and whatnot

Lokathor commented 3 years ago

CC0 seems simplest for documentation to use.

AntonioND commented 3 years ago

CC0 is pretty much a way to formalize public domain, so yeah, it's probably better.

Lokathor commented 3 years ago

Yeah. And, for those who aren't aware: not all jurisdictions actually recognize the concept of public domain, so CC0 (which has a fallback clause for such jurisdictions) is better than a simple public domain statement.

I didn't know about this, that's good to know!

avivace commented 3 years ago

Great. Let's go with CC0.
