Make sure we have the right license #1

Open

Description

@pganssle

I believe this should be licensed under either the PSF license or the Apache license. The data itself is public domain and comes from IANA.

    Looks like this should be closed as of #16.

    @FFY00 I think I was holding off on actually closing this until someone from the PSF weighs in as to whether they care how this is licensed — particularly if we're going to be claiming this is a "first-party package".

    I am also not sure if this officially counts as something I've submitted under the umbrella of the CLA, and if we can/should be enforcing CLA compliance here (though that may be a separate issue).

    I'm going to leave it open now as a reminder that this stuff is still not done (though at least there shouldn't be any legal uncertainty here, since what we have now is clearly released as Apache 2.0 and anyone can use it).

    It is possible, I got the clabot (the one used in CPython) enabled in python-docs-pl some time ago, I was told by Lukasz that enabling it is a simple task.

    Please note I am no expert on licenses nor have any legal knowledge.

    As for other repositories under python:

    repo license
    python-docs-theme PSF 2
    devguide Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal
    cpython PSF 2
    docs-community Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal
    mypy MIT License & PSF 2
    typeshed Apache & MIT License
    pymanager PSF 2
    release-tools PSF 2
    blurb Under PSF CLA
    pythondotorg Apache

    I see that the PSF license is indeed the most common (should we switch to it?), though I gather Apache is fine since it is also used (e.g. pythondotorg). In the case of this repo (unlike pythondotorg), however, you are explicitly listed in the LICENSE file, should I (and other contributors) also be listed there?
