Make the copyright license clear for torspec and proposals

Once upon a time, the tor spec files and proposals were in the Tor tarball, so they clearly were covered under Tor's copyright license (3-clause BSD).

But now they're in their own git repository.

I think maybe they technically have no copyright license now?

We should pick one (I vote cc-by) and try to apply it. This plan could become tricky for proposals, because there are a lot of authors on proposals by now.

Until this ticket is resolved, I am marking the I2P proposal process document (derived from 001-process.txt) as 3-clause BSD under the assumption that it retains that license from having been part of the Tor tarball. I will update the license once this has been clarified. Please contact me if there are any issues :)

We need a license person to look at this. Moving out of 0.2.9 for now since I don't know when somebody will be available.

Please consider licensing specs under public domain. CC-0 seems to be the most portable solution. Though public domain may not run on some state architectures.

Speaking personally, I support placing the whole thing under the most permissive license possible, and I don't know anything more permissive than CC-0. We still need to get a lawyer or three to sign off on us doing that. This looks like it's gonna take some time.

(I hereby license 100% of the text that I wrote in the tor-spec repository under the CC-0 license, to the extent that I am able to do so.)
