Add optional content_license string field for item objects
People usually pay more attention to code's license, but text's license is also important. In open source circles typically used ones for blogs are some of CC licenses: CC BY(-NC)-SA, CC BY(-NC) or CC0. It would be useful to be able to explicitly state content's license in a unified way.
content_license (optional, string) at item-level mentioning license of the item could solve this.
(In theory it could be top-level field, but it would be much less flexible then.)
For what values could be put there, I would suggest using existing good database of license identifiers that has been made for SPDX: SPDX License List
Examples:
- CC-BY-SA-4.0
- CC0-1.0
- FreeBSD-DOC
- MIT
