BSD or MIT

I visited the website and to my surprise I saw this

Copyright ©2017 Facebook Inc. The contents of this page are licensed BSD-3-Clause.

Graphql-js is MIT but when I read the docs I see as above. I almost submitted a PR but then I checked the graphql repo and found out some projects are licensed MIT while others are BSD.

Did you do it on purpose? I'm a little confused

Projects have been moving to MIT on a case by case basis. @JoelMarcey, perhaps you could help us investigate this?

[JoelMarcey]

Hmmm.. many times the documentation for our projects are licensed as Creative Commons - e.g., https://github.com/facebook/Docusaurus/blob/master/LICENSE-docs

And we don't have that clause listed on the site.

Would the docs being CC be ok?

The LICENSE file says that it is not BSD or MIT.
How is the actual document licensed?

@oreno4649 - Since this issue was originally raised, GraphQL has moved to the Linux foundation. I believe this should be licensed to MIT, and we just missed it, but I will let @leebyron or @caniszczyk make that call.

MIT is fine

@JoelMarcey @caniszczyk Thank you for your reaction.

I make the PR. Please check the license notation.
