TODO: What to do with MIT/BSD licenses?

See #16

[carmenbianca]

I've been answering a lot of questions. I've left the questions that may require some legal finesse alone. Namely:

• Is there a standard format for declaring copyright?
• Which years do I include in the copyright statement?
• What are license exceptions and what do I do with them?
• Do I use SPDX-Copyright, Copyright, or ©?
• Which files are copyrightable?
• What is a copyright holder, and what is an author?
• How to deal with MIT/BSD licenses which include copyright information themselves? (see Better handle licenses that have SPDX templates/variables (e.g. MIT, BSD) #16)

I have also not yet answered some other questions, but those are simply TODO.

@silverhook Would it be possible for you to answer these questions? Or ought I simply give them a spin, and you can proofread them for me?

Thanks!

We could consider using custom ids for the headings since you interlink a few of them.

By default, hugo sets an id based on the heading's content. If we edit a question, it might break existing links. But it's possible to do something like:

## I am short on time. Can you give me the quickest possible summary? {#quick}

## How do I exclude a file from REUSE compliance testing? {#exclude-files}

This way, sharing links to the FAQ would also be safer and shorter.

I did not know that was possible. I'll get on that now.

Did some work on reuse-website to see if the new IDs would work using Hugo: fsfe/reuse-website#1

They unfortunately do not work quite as expected. I'll demonstrate using a screenshot:

The link redirects to localhost/#custom-license instead of localhost/faq/#custom-license. I think there's a way to fix that in Hugo, but I haven't used Hugo in a while.

Moreover, the headers are far too big in the HTML version, but that all can be fixed later.

@carmenbianca, if there are still any FAQ entries open where I could help with, feel free to open a new issue and assign it to me. I kind of lost count by now.
