The "Write for the Percona Community" blog post (2026-05-22) states that community blog submissions are published under CC BY 4.0, but the license text was never committed, so GitHub did not detect or display it. Add the verbatim CC BY 4.0 legal text as LICENSE so GitHub's license detection recognizes it, and add a License section to the README clarifying that the license covers blog content and articles while the Hugo site code and tooling remain Copyright (c) Percona.

What to do with old blog posts, especially ones from external contributors? Do we need to add the right license for all of them when adding this?

Have we discussed what license we want for the site code? If we are unapologetically open source it should be an open one.
