Licensing - What exist, what to use, how to decide

[HChughtai]

• Useful defaults
• High level summaries
• What other projects use
• Differences between what's needed for code and for other outputs
• How to ensure you're not violating licenses - e.g. pulling in dependencies with specific needs
• Tooling to help? e.g. checking code for violations
