I realised we don't specifically mention a license in this repository.

I suggest https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ but I'm open for suggestions

Any objections or suggestions? Thx

I don't have much experience with specifications licencing, but I took a quick look at diverse common specs online, it looks like the W3C uses its own The bulk of the text of this specification is also available in the WHATWG [Web Applications 1.0](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html) specification, under a license that permits reuse of the specification text., the CSV RFC is only under copyright from ISOC, and the EU publishes specs under the EUPL. So I'd say there is no clear practice, but as a "document" rather than "data" or "software", Creative Commons sound to me like a good fit yes (then some could argue between BY or BY-SA but I guess it's a choice I don't have any reason to be part of).

CC-BY makes sense and is a good choice

jacomyma commented 1 year ago

+1, CC-BY seems appropriate to me.

paulgirard commented 1 year ago

good to me too

gvegayon commented 1 year ago

I agree; this license looks good to me too.

Excellent, thanks all for your input. I'll make the change
