Hi Daniel, Bruce D'Arcus and I think that the MIT license might be the best option for relicensing the CSL schema. I just proposed the change on our mailing list (http://xbiblio-devel.2463403.n2.nabble.com/MIT-license-as-default-for-CSL-software-tp7579193p7579395.html), but I don't expect any objections. We certainly always wish to be FOSS-compatible and nonrestrictive.
If nobody objects to the MIT license, it might still be a while before I get to updating all the schema files with the new license, so maybe I'll just make a note to that effect on http://citationstyles.org/. You can also rely on this email for permission to package the schema under MIT-license terms.
