The CSL specification (and related documents such as the CSL primer)  
currently don’t include any kind of copyright/licensing information. Are  
there any objections to releasing it under a CC license, such as CC-BY-SA?  
Comments/suggestions welcome.

Great with me - you’ve written (most of?) them, so it’s mainly up to  
you I’d say.
