I understand that there may be issues with copying and modification (#16). However (assuming you don't want external contributors or have a CLA process), would it be possible to release non-JS components under, e.g., CC BY-ND 4.0? It's still a socially useful function to reproduce verbatim copies.

I'm unsure if CC BY 4.0 § 3(a)(1)(A)(ii) would require a copyright notice on every webpage from which the work is derived, but that might be worth looking into with a lawyer, if you want that sort of protection on a free license.

Also, if you do somehow want to accept contributions for the website, the Fiduciary License Agreement might be worth looking into with a lawyer.

(And a lawyer I am not. None of this post is legal advice.)
