I just dropped this issue asking about license preference: https://github.com/rochelleterman/FSUtext/issues/1
What's the policy on Carpentries lessons borrowing from outside projects with various licenses or no license specified? Or, in a more limited scope: what's the plan for license for one or more NLP lessons?
