Description

This repository does not currently contain a LICENSE file. As a result, the terms under which the OCSD curriculum may be copied, adapted, and redistributed are unclear.

The OWASP Project Policy states that documentation source and artifacts must use a Creative Commons license. Comparable OWASP documentation projects use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license, including:

CC-BY-SA-4.0 appears to be the most consistent choice for this repository.

If this gets approved, a pull request can simply add the unmodified CC BY-SA 4.0 legal text in a LICENSE file, including a short notice in README.md.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository root and README.md, then compare the license files linked in the issue with the OWASP Project Policy. Once CC BY-SA 4.0 is approved, add its unmodified legal text as LICENSE and include a short license notice in README.md. Done means both files clearly state the repository’s licensing terms.
