License drafting #158

Open n8willis opened 1 year ago

This PR is here for people to easily track and provide feedback to the "LICENSE.md" document.

Hopefully that's more accessible than assuming people will figure out how to switch to the license branch in the GitHub UI.

The current state of the LICENSE file is meant to reflect the practical concerns I turned up when doing a search and comparison of the licenses used for other "specification-like" projects in the broader FOSS ecosystem.

It's also written to try and be somewhat reusable for other projects, both in a small "pay it forward" sense and also just in case I or other folks who have contributed need it to put onto some similarly scoped standards-like document in the future.

Questions certainly welcome. Wording questions might be easiest via the review/comment mechanism in the PR front-end; broader or philosophical topics might be easier to conduct as an issue.
