This repo doesn't have any license set for it. We should probably set one up. I would be ok licensing the code I have written that builds the site under the MIT license but we should probably also specify that the papers themselves are not under the same license as the code that builds the site.

Yeah and I suppose you may want to license all the text in the Resources section under something else like a CC license.

One more thing, I think the right thing to do when adding a license like this is to ask permission from everyone who has contributed to the affected code. I think for the Jekyll template code that amounts to just @emmahsax and I. There are more contributors for other parts like the Resources text and individual seminar data.

@floogulinc and @elenam: I'm fine with licensing all Jekyll code I've written for this project under the MIT license, but another one I've been liking lately is the BSD 3-Clause license. But it's all your choice, I'm happy with whatever you go with 😄

@floogulinc One other thing we could do is have two "licenses", one which is a content license. AKA any content (seminars, papers, slides, etc) is ours only, as if there was no license file at all, so essentially there's no permissions for anyone else. But the Jekyll code (non-content) would be licensed under MIT.
