Can we please use GPL / BY-SA. This project is about reclaiming value for the
community, and those licenses better reflect that. I appreciate that 
MIT /BY is
closer in spirit to public domain, but that isn't necessarily a good thing for
new work intended as a community resource. This project definitely 
shouldn't be
gracenote-able for example, and GPL/BY-SA protects against that where MIT/BSD
doesn't.
