Is LGPL-2.1-or-later the "right" license to use for Hugo templates etc.?

Hmm good question. I think LGPL is an odd fit for templates. But 8.b.i makes LGPL-2.1 the Project License, so anything else needs an 8.c exception vote. I propose we go with LGPL for now, and I'll fold a template-licence exception into the wider exception motion that I can raise in the next TSC meeting if you think its worth doing.

I can live with LGPL, just seemed strange. Up to you/TSC if it's worth changing or not :)
The repository had no licence file. Declare the split required by section 8 of the Technical Charter: documentation and website content under CC-BY-4.0 as required by 8.b.iv, and code under LGPL-2.1-or-later, the Project License defined in 8.b.i. The LGPL text is the copy already carried by kernelci-core, and matches the SPDX identifier used in that repository. The CC-BY-4.0 text is the canonical one published by Creative Commons.
