Creative Commons Markdown

On November 25th, 2013, Creative Commons announced their next generation licenses: Creative Commons 4.0. By default, these are available as HTML or plaintext. This project adds Markdown-formatted licenses to that list.

"…the only file extension I would endorse is “.markdown”, for the same reason offered by Hilton Lipschitz"
