There is no license for the docs? #151

Like the title says, there is no license for the docs?

Clarification would be appreciated.

The website still says "© Copyright 2019 Carnegie Mellon University." is that true, do they actually hold the exclusive copyright?

Since there is no license granting rights to users, the documentation is currently proprietary. This is definitely an issue for Panda as a free and open source project. Not sure why it has lacked a license for so long. But now most likely the next step is considering what type of license the documentation should be released under.

Since Panda is released under a permissive license, a Creative Commons License would be fitting as it is also a permissive license. The Godot engine's Sphinx documentation is licensed under the CC-BY-3.0.
