Our CoC incorporates language from several other materials, mostly under CC licenses. However it was not clear what our own CoC's license is.

  1. Clarifies that our CoC is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. This is because our CoC is based on the Python CoC, which is CC BY-SA 3.0 but also incorporates works that are under CC 4.0 licenses. The ShareAlike clauses allows us to use a newer version of the BY-SA license.

  2. Unfortunately, we have incorporated language from Otter Tech in violation of its license. This is because the CC BY-NC-SA and BY-SA licenses are not compatible due to contradictory ShareAlike requirements. We should rectify this or get special permission to use it.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

The Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike requirements are incompatible with the Attribution-ShareAlike requirements of the Python CoC's license. @valencik @samspills do you remember specifically what language came from Otter Tech resources?
