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?

Best,
D
