I think the existing [1] (from last week) covers this issue.  I'm
arguing against addressing this in LicenseListPublisher, but I don't
think we want multiple GitHub issues about past/preview HTML going at
once ;).

Cheers,
Trevor

I'm in favor of solving this (making html available for old versions of the
license list). I think it will help with adoption too, especially as we
move back to a more frequent release cadence.

Perhaps add to the errata issue? Or file a separate issue?

Past and preview License List releases (was: 3.1 release)

An easy way to do this would be to push our website HTML (e.g. [1]) to
the gh-pages branch of license-list-data.  I've mocked that up in
[2,3], and you can see old versions of the list in [4,5,…].

You can do this with the gh-pages approach too [6,7], although someone
(possibly a robot) would need to bump gh-pages after each master
commit (or at least whenever you wanted to refresh the preview).

If this approach seems useful, someone with license-list-data write
access just needs to push my gh-pages branch [8] to the main
repository.

Cheers,
Trevor
