Dear all,
As of this moment, all the CSL styles in the style repository at
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles are registered under a
single license, using the exact string "This work is licensed under a
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/";.
I added the license to styles that did not carry one, updated older
versions of the license, and replaced ported variants by the unported
version. I got permission of the style authors who had released their
styles under by-nc-sa licenses to switch to by-sa.
Going forward I would like to require that any new style added to the
repository should use Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (I already
included this in our requirements:
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Style-Requirements ).
If anybody has an issue with any of these changes, please let me know,
Rintze
