Select a license for *THIS DOCUMENT* and one for any code snippets included

This is a continuation of #7. For discussion about choosing a license for a project please see #8. Any off topic comments here will be deleted (and possibly moved to the correct thread, if an admin user is feeling benevolent).

The two issues addressed here are:

Licensing THIS document/project

i.e., Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/Best_Practices

The license should probably not be a license intended to be applied to software. Here is a list with people's votes (I or @szaghi will try to keep this up to date.)

Here is a very brief overview and discussion of CC licenses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons_license

Licensing code snippets within this document

The code snippets should be licensed very permissively unless someone has a good argument to the contrary
