[Inpycon] Copyright violation of PyCon India website by blockchain 2017 conference organizer

[Noufal Ibrahim]

I'm personally for being liberal with this. We haven't put up a license 
on the github  repository for the assets or the website so my 
understanding is that by default, reuse is not permitted.

I think the correct way to move forward is to put up a liberal license 
on the pssi repositories so that others can use the design and to tell 
the blockchain people that while their initial copy over was a violation 
of the copyright, we've changed the terms so that it's no longer a 
problem.

That would solve it. Correct?
