License for the code

[hroncok]

We've talked about this with @encukou but I don't want to forgot it.

This repo is getting more and more code, but it has no implicit license, thus in theory the code is not free / open source software.

Apart form code, we also have content, but the content is usually has it's license specified in the metadata. Co I have the following proposal:

License the code with the MIT/Expat license (author "naucse.python.cz contributors") and say that the content has it's own license in the metadata (and fallbacks to CC BY-SA 4.0 if not specified).

Agreed to license the code (not content) with the MIT license with "naucse.python.cz contributors" as <COPYRIGHT HOLDER>:

The following contributors only added content (not mentioning them to not bother them):

• Glutexo
• asgeirrr
• vasekch
• honzajavorek (also deleted CNAME, which is fine)
• zuzejk
• lspdv
• Aprillion
• stlk
• zoellenka
• andrenvk
• budinm1
• petrblaho
• baradrb
• jirutka
• tulinkry
• ggljzr
• MarekSuchanek
• vknaisl

+1, except the fallback to CC-BY-SA is problematic: if there's no license info, there's also no author info.

Could you add license info to MI-PYT lessons? I'll add it for the beginners' lessons by mid-May, as part of converting to Markdown. After that, naucse should enforce that each lesson has a license.

[hroncok]

Ok. For MI-PYT, the authors are us plus several other contributors. We could:

• say Petr Viktorin, Miro Hrončok and other MI-PYT contributors
• name everyone (will be a horrible nightmare to keep updated)
• use some kind of macro, that finds it out from git (might be overkill)

I think "Petr Viktorin, Miro Hrončok and other MI-PYT contributors" is fine. Others can always add themselves to that list. And once each page links to GitHub, the gallery of contributors will be a click away.

According to GitHub, there are 24 contributors of this repo. I will go one by one and check whether it's code contribution or not, than I'll ask affected people to agree here with MIT.
