Release website and test suite as public domain

[msporny]

Dan Brickley raised the point that having the website and test suite license as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike causes certain company internal IP review processes to kick in. We want people to use JSON-LD with as little friction as possible and there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to keep the JSON-LD website and test suite under CC BY-SA instead of a standard public domain dedication.

PROPOSAL: Release the JSON-LD website, test suite, and git repositories into the public domain.
