I also updated the license conditions for the style repository, which
seemed necessary, since the CC BY-SA license specifies that "[y]ou must
attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor".
https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/README.md
In short, I think we should demand that any project using CSL styles from
the repo should publicly acknowledge this, and that
authorship/contributorship information shouldn't be stripped from
distributed styles. Let me know if you think the text needs changes/polish.
