While this repo is public, we haven't added a license. See info here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository

One consideration: do we want different licenses for code vs. content? e.g. we could make the code MIT but maintain copyright on the blog posts (or make the content CC).

I would be happy to have it all open (CC or MIT). I guess for the blog posts it should be up to the authors, but CC with attribution feels fair.

FWIW I think that's a solid path forward & would match with ethereum.org.

On ethereum.org you can see the repo has an MIT license for the code: https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/blob/dev/LICENSE

And within the terms page we specify that all content is CC (see "Intellectual Property Rights" section): https://ethereum.org/en/terms-of-use/
