Endorse license for use for Nix documentation #465

Description

@Gabriella439

Would it be worth the Nix documentation team endorsing a specific license for people to use when authoring Nix documentation? The idea here is that some authors might not have strong opinions on the choice of license and giving them some guidance can help unify licenses so that it's easier to port and adapt existing documentation.

In the absence of such an endorsement they might unintentionally pick a license that makes it harder to adapt their work. We can still ask them to release the work under a new copyright and they'd probably happily oblige if we asked, but it might streamline things if they pick the preferred license the first time.
