Discussion: Opensource Licence for monero-docs

[dan-is-not-the-man]

Just creating this so we can track what has been brung up in monero-website and monero-docs rooms

I found these :

• https://opensource.guide/legal/#just-give-me-the-tldr-on-what-i-need-to-protect-my-project
• https://choosealicense.com/

Currently: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-docs/pull/11

Looks like for documentation its https://choosealicense.com/non-software/#data-media-etc

Documentation

Any open source software license or open license for media (see [above](https://choosealicense.com/non-software/#data-media-etc)) also applies to software documentation. If you use different licenses for your software and its documentation, be sure to specify that source code examples in the documentation are also licensed under the software license.

• cc0-4.0

After some discussion and consulting, it seems best to stick with monerodocs MIT license for the content of the /docs folder
