CC-BY-SA 3.0 #19

We may want to think about licensing all content on the site under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Things like the wiki, canon, salad, and Nidaba would be nice to be open source.

All SO data that we use is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Eventually we may start showing SO data on sopython itself as part of Nidaba. Part of CC-BY-SA requires you to license anything that you use under the same licence and link to it.

Xavier pointed out this article by Jeff here. From this I've put together the below checklist of what we need to do to attribute properly:

Note that this is different to licensing the code itself.

Also, as pointed out by @poke:

If we go with CC-BY-SA for our content, we also need to properly attribute all our own editors. E.g. wiki articles need to list all their contributors. Ideally, we would combine this with version control and a history functionality.
