We've always said the style guides are licensed under CC-By 3.0 in our README file. We use other licenses for code snippets, and list those in the respective file headers, but the guides are the dominant source in this repo, so list that in the LICENSE file.

Fixes #637.

There's no need to ask me about anything in this repo anymore. go/epitaphs/gps
(Fixing the license to be what makes sense for documentation makes sense to me but I have no say in the matter anymore).

Personally, I'd really like some way to keep using the pylintrc in other projects (because that's the point of it, right?), but I have no stake in this decision as part of my job.

nothing is stopping you from using the file elsewhere. it's arguable whether one can copyright config files like this. if one thinks so, based on the comments written, not the key=value parts, then the license would be that of pylint since that's where all the comments are coming from. and pylint is GPL-2, not Apache-2.0.
