Some concerns that have come up during discussion (input from license/legal experts welcome):

  • Namespace squatting (where somebody else says, "no, I'm the Citation File Format"). Is this covered by copyright? Does CC BY do anything for us for this case?
  • What happens if someone forks the project as opposed to just the repo?
  • Software vs documentation vs data vs other stuff
    • Currently, this is being ignored by using a single CC BY 4.0 license
  • Mixed licensing (Apache-2.0) and representation on GitHub and Zenodo

Perhaps could move this to the governance repo?

Related: I'm using REUSE by the Free Software Foundation Europe to apply different licenses to different files in some of my projects.
Doing this for the schema & website repos would help solve these two sub-issues:

* Software vs documentation vs data vs other stuff
  * Currently, this is being ignored by using a single CC BY 4.0 license
* Mixed licensing (Apache-2.0) and representation on GitHub and Zenodo
