License for this document itself #18

Closed konklone closed 10 years ago

konklone commented 10 years ago

Ironically, we never chose a license for this document itself.

I'm strongly in favor of CC0, given the contents of the document. Whichever license we choose, I'll add a CONTRIBUTING.md file that says future contributions will be accepted under that license going forward.

Right now, it's all copyrighted by default by everyone involved, so I'll need to get a :+1: from the contributors so far. That's:

@JoshData, let me know if I'm missing anyone.

If CC0 is OK with you, give a :+1: in the comments. Or, you can object and we can talk it out.

There may have been others from the sign-on process. Will have to check my mail archive.
