Content licensing

It seems that a license for the content is absent.
In EU countries and the USA it seems that editing copyrighted content without explicit permission of the copyright holders might be an illegal act. If you do it anyway, a copyright holder potentially might sue you later.
On MDN you can see how licensing for such projects can be done:
- Content submission agreement to license the contributions under the projects licenses.
- Content licensing
This is still quite a big problem, as legally code samples have no license and cannot be used or modified or redistributed… this could be solved by putting code samples under the MIT license, then rights are given to use the code samples. Another thing that could be done is something like Roblox’s creator docs does with open source, with Creative Commons Attribution for prose and MIT for code samples.
