Licence of the Guix blog posts

Hello Guix!

You might remember that I started long ago asking people who had
contributed to the blog whether they would agree to licensing their work
under CC-BY-SA 4.0 and GFDL version 1.3 or later, with no Invariant
Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts¹.

I did not get replies from Danny Milosavljevic and Laura Lazzati²;
everyone else agreed publicly.

In the meantime, we got a new blog post³ with lots of contributors,
thanks to Simon’s work.  Unfortunately I think we did not discuss the
licensing terms.

Therefore, I propose to apply the following patch, which leaves out a
couple of posts as “unlicensed”.  From there on, we’ll have consistent
free licensing by default.

Thoughts?

Simon, what do you think about emailing the authors of the “10 years of
stories” post asking if they agree with the licensing?  :-)  No rush,
though the sooner the more likely we are to get an answer.

Ludo’.
