License

[lgarron]

Something just reminded me that the Regulations don't have a license.

We should probably use a Creative Commons license: https://creativecommons.org/choose/

---

If we want others (say, Red Bull) to be able to adapt our wording: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/

If we want to allow copies of the WCA Regulations to be distributed but attributed (and not modified): https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

Note: we should also figure out how this applies to translations. Contributions on GitHub fall under terms that are equivalent to a CLA, but we need to be able to handle 1) contributions through other media 2) the fact that we don't have formal licenses for past contributions.

I'm closing this Issue as you have just opened one more detailed.

Ah, thanks for finding the duplicate!
Let's deduplicate into the older one.

@lgarron I'm still reading Creative Commons' wiki, but I think we may use a standard BY-ND (and optionally NC) license and grant the right to create and distribute translations using CC+.
