Licenses sit in the `/licenses` folder as markdown (`.md`) files. Each license has YAML front matter describing the license's properties. The body of the markdown file should be the text of the license. The available metadata fields are:
*`title` - The name of the license
*`layout` - This should be `license`
*`permalink` - The url to the license relative to `/licenses/`
*`source` - URL to the license source text
*`note` - The note field in the sidebar (optional)
*`how` - How to use the license, also in the sidebar
*`required`, `permitted`, `forbidden` - bulleted list of rules applicable to the license (see below)
# Rules
* Rules (the license's properties) are stored as a bulleted list within the licenses YAML front matter. A full list of rules can be found in the repository's `_config.yml` file. Each rule has a name e.g., `include-copyright`, a human-readable label, e.g., `Copyright inclusion`, and a description `Include the original copyright with the code`. To add a new rule, simply add it to config.yml and reference it in the appropriate license.
