License tweaks about nanogenmo-2015 HOT 3 CLOSED

Oh, does it not just default to some common sense interpretation if no version number is given? Wikipedia page footers don't bother to include a number, so I just followed suit.

And does it make sense to distribute code under a CC licence? Github only offered me CC0 when I was setting it up, so I shrugged and left it unlicenced. (Searching to see why there were no other CC options available, I just hit threads of people talking opaquely about how CC was inappropriate for code.)

Err, I'm not an expert in this area, either. However! I've asked a more technically-geeky friend who opines:

the code can be under whatever license he wants, [but] the output needs to be CC-BY-SA 3.0 or later per https://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses
IANAL but I'd guess he doesn't need a licence file if the output files already say they're CC
fwiw the reason CC licenses aren't available as options when you set up a github repo is probably that CC isn't really designed for code

He didn't recommend a specific license for the code, though... HTH anyway!

No harm in clarifying it, so I've gone ahead and updated that line, and put the whole project under an MIT Licence. Thanks.
