license as public domain?

[derhuerst]

It's a bit impractical that I need to provide attribution when I derive work from FPTF, because

• it's hard to "pass through" the attribution through several levels of libraries and abstractions,
• it's hard to know when something is considered derived work from a technical standard/format.

I propose to re-license (or un-license rather) FPTF into the public domain to allow for more wide-spread usage. This would require all contributors to acknowledge this change.

GTFS is currently licensed as Apache-2.0.

Maybe CC0 would be better? Public domain can be tricky when one applies legal situation very strictly.

@juliuste @matkoniecz @kiliankoe Do you explicitly consent to re-publish your contributions under the CC0 license?

[matkoniecz]

[kiliankoe]

Sure!
