TL;DR
I'm trying to figure out what license is best to use with a proposed CodeGolf.SE sandbox viewer. Please read the whole question/proposal before answering.
Main Question
What would be the best license for a proposed sandbox viewer? I would maintain it as an open-source project, and I wanted to know of the best license to use for it.
Disclaimer
Before everyone who disagrees goes on a rant, read this:
If you want it to, this will keep track of the sandbox length and create a new one if it gets above a certain length.
- It can't mark new sandboxes as featured unless someone with adequate permissions either enables support or does it manually.
Using this web app will be optional: the questions can still be proposed/commented/answered as normal on Meta.
Features/Details
Completely from the site
A single-page HTML/CSS/JS application, runnable from anywhere, even locally.
Allows for viewing, asking, commenting, or (on some) answering proposed questions.
Uses a hard-coded sandbox question on the Meta site to hold all its data
Presents it in a more convenient fashion than the question itself
Data is also human readable in questions
Require Stack Exchange's OpenID login to propose/edit/comment on questions
Allows embedding potential answers or answer-like comments in the questions themselves given permission by the proposed question's asker.
Makes it a community wiki to enable this
Reads the history to get the user's comment
Comments to the proposed question go in comments section
Comments to proposed answers/answer-like comments would go under the answer itself
Proposed questions are created as answers to the Meta sandbox
When ready, a user is prompted for any changes, then a new question is created on the main site
- Old is automatically changed to a link to the question, clearly marked as posted and with all extra content removed
Nits
It would embed a tiny bit of metadata via HTML comments in the body to tell if some question is already posted on the main site (falls back on a regex) so it can hide the question.
Pieces of it may be turned into code challenges (many JS-specific) here on the main site, with licensing restrictions to override the stock CC-BY-SA license, and then used in developing the app.
Extras
If there are any features you want/don't want, please let me know.
I would be the maintainer of this project (working on beginnings now), but I know I will get some help from the community in developing this application. So, I'm looking to you all for input on what license to use for it.
Also, I (or another contributor) will make a PSA when it is ready for testing.
This idea came up in chat as a potential solution to the sandbox problem.
