All sounds great :)

Using AL 2.0 will probably be easier - otherwise you'll be part AL 2.0
and part BSD. If you use AL 2.0, then you just need to add your
copyright bits to the NOTICE file already there. [I'm assuming a port
is a derivative work etc, no real idea].

Sounds good. Once the site is up and running, let us know and we can
link from the CLI website as well as any wiki pages that might be good
for "You like Commons? Check out...." links.
