The originating site where I borrowed the look and feel and some of the HTML and CSS from is CC0 - no rights reserved. What license do you think is appropriate here?

I'd go for an Apache 2 License :)

I think there are two things to be licensed:

  • HTML/CSS - I'm in favor of something like CC0 - there's no magic here, and I don't really care if someone else takes it and uses it. I took most of it from somewhere else, and anyone else can do the same.
  • The site content (logos and all the YAML) - this we should probably set a reasonable license on, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Please include a short statement of why you feel the suggested license is the right choice.

CC0 sounds fine, other common choices are GFDL and CC BY-SA.

What's the license of those original sources? In most cases you can't copy from somewhere and then put it under a different license.

The site content (logos and all the YAML) - this we should probably set a reasonable license on, but I'm open to any suggestions.

While the YAML probably won't contain anything under copyright (summary should be short enough), the logos definitely are copyrighted. So it's important to keep the original license and copyright statements for those.

Any news here? This repository is currently still "all rights reserved" and contributing is problematic from a legal perspective.

What was the originating site?

I've brought over License text from the other site, though anything we used falls under the MIT and CC0 aspects (which is why no license text was included previously).

I don't know what problems any of you are having with contributing a logo and a link. Doing so doesn't change the ownership of your project. Logos constitute fair use in this context, but you're welcome not to include one. That project just won't ever be featured.

In any event, all of you seem to understand more about this than I do, so please make suggestions if something needs to be done differently. I'm not trying to step on anyone's little toes - I just want a place where people can put links to their projects.

It would be helpful if the README (or a separate file) indicated the origin of things you copied over and the licensing from there, as well the licensing of the new/unique content.

The JavaScript and CSS are CC0 and MIT. No attribution is required. I've added licensing information to the README. If you don't think this is enough, then please submit a PR.

As stated, please submit a PR with the requested changes, and I'll be happy to review it.
