Well, dependent styles are basically just bookmarks with a little bit of
metadata, so I thought it would make little sense to apply a license.

We wouldn't be okay with that. I think an important question is whether, if
we decide that CC-BY-SA is a good license for dependent and independent
styles, it would make sense to make it the mandatory license for styles
hosted in the github repo. As I mentioned here (
http://xbiblio-devel.2463403.n2.nabble.com/use-of-CSL-styles-in-Peaya-with-changed-attribution-td5267001.html#a6360339),
that would make it much easier for CSL adopters to comply with the licensing
terms (currently, they'd theoretically have to check each individual style
to see which license it uses).
