There was a problem hiding this comment.
I concur with your recap. For the record, Marcel's PR was an error on my part, I misunderstood some history from before I joined.
This sounds like the correct license assignment based on all the conversations that have happened.

This PR fixes a long-standing license inconsistency in the repository and standardizes on CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike).
To be totally clear:
I did a bit of digging in the git history to try to work out how we got here:
LICENSE.txtwith CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. In the same PR, Paolo added a Copyright section toREADME.mdreferencing CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. This introduced the original inconsistency.docs/index.mdwhich copied the CC BY-NC-ND reference from theREADME.md, propagating the error.LICENSE.txt, createdLICENSE.mdwith SA title but ND links/badge, and addedcc_by-nc-nd.svg. This cemented both versions into the license file itself.As far as I can tell, the intention has always been, and continues to be, to use CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
