It is easier to start new code in a Kubernetes organization than it is to
transfer in existing code.
## Licensing Guidance
Section 11 of the [CNCF Charter] provides guidance on how to license code and
documentation owned by the CNCF projects. However, it doesn't explicitly cover
situations where a repo may have mixed content (such as repos that contain both
code and documentation living alongside each other).
For clarity, here is the guidance for Kubernetes GitHub organizations:
- If a repo contains only code, it should be licensed under the
[Apache License, Version 2.0].
- If a repo contains only documentation, it should be licensed under the
[Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License].
- If a repo contains both code and documentation, it should be licensed under
the [Apache License, Version 2.0].
