Simplify level licensing / replace “Public Domain” with all-permissive license #355

Closed Wuzzy2 closed 4 years ago

Wuzzy2 commented 4 years ago

Current level licenses are a bit all over the place.

I suggest to simplify the licenses to use less different licenses overall.

I suggest to at least unify the all-permissive licenses such as MIT, WTFPL, BSD. Also, “Public Domain” / “PD” is not a license and should be turned into one.

I do not want to touch any other licenses it it's probably too complicated and probably not possible anyway.

I suggest to switch all levels with an all-permissive license to CC0 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/, as it's probably best for media.

After doing this, it also needs to be checked if any README and similar files need updating.

I don't want to do this step on my own and first seek for approval of the other project members.
