YAML
YAML has been licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License (CC-A 2.0) since version 2.2.
Quote (yaml.de): The Creative Commons license permits both the non-commercial and the commercial use of the framework on the condition that a backlink to the project homepage remains in the layout (see the next section). Freelancers and web agencies, however, cannot always conform to the terms of use of the Creative Commons license, as customers seldom desire copyright notices of third party projects on their sites. In order to make the use of YAML possible in these cases, two license models for commercial use have been developed, alternative to the Creative Commons license. Both models are set up as single payments and include the use of any future releases.
