+# Slides for foss-north podcast
+This repo contains source files for the slides we use when recording the foss-north
+podcast/screencast, starting with the series on licenses.
+
+# License
+The different slides are under different licenses depending on what license the material included in
+the slides are under. This should be marked in each slide deck somehow. In general, we try to make
+the slides available as CC-BY-SA 4.0 International

+
+## Why permissive?
+- Allows proprietary changes
+- Usually allows relicensing as proprietary
+- Easier to understand
+- Highly compatible (allow further restrictions)
