Description

This is a continuation of #7. For discussion about choosing a license for a _project_ please see #8. Any off topic comments here will be deleted (and possibly moved to the correct thread, if an admin user is feeling benevolent).

The two issues addressed here are:
# Licensing _THIS_ document/project

i.e., Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/Best_Practices

The license should probably _not_ be a license intended to be applied to software. Here is a list with people's votes (I or @szaghi will try to keep this up to date.)

Here is a very brief overview and discussion of CC licenses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons_license

# Licensing code snippets _within this document_

The code snippets should be licensed _very_ permissively unless someone has a good argument to the contrary
