+1 for this PR, and I give my consent for a CC0 license. |
|
I'm ok on relicensing to CC0. |
|
It seems that there is a general consensus. @jupyter/steeringcouncil: Please vote on merging this PR. We need at least 8 votes, and 2/3 majority for merging. |

Had to read about CC0 because I had never heard about it, but now I'm +1 |
|
@jdfreder, I added a note about what CC0 is in the pr description above. |

Yes, I'm not credited in but I did have a lot of input :) I'm +1 on CC-0 on these, I hope they get spread as far and wide as possible! |

We want to allow other projects to steal from us, like we stole from Jupyter/IPython :-). This relicensing / public domain dedication is possible because all text here is either by me (and thus copyright me) or else taken from the Jupyter/IPython document, and their document is also under CC-0 as per jupyter/governance#9

As mentioned in #8 by @njsmith, it would be great to license the governance documents as CC0.
We'll need explicit assent from me, @ellisonbg, @Carreau, and @minrk. The one other author in the repo just fixed a link. @fperez, it probably wouldn't hurt to have your assent too, since you likely had lots of input, even if you aren't credited in the repo. Are there any others we need to get permission from?
Edit: CC0 is basically public domain, but explicitly waives rights for jurisdictions that don't have the concept of public domain. Basically, it tries to be as public domain as possible in all jurisdictions. See https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
