## 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].
