Bug#775532: license of the CSL scheme files



http://citationstyles.org/developers/ now says "Note. All versions of
the CSL schema have recently been relicensed under the more
permissible MIT license, and the GitHub repository will soon be
updated to reflect this change.".

I'll add the MIT license to the repository and change the "rights"
blurb in the schema itself, but it might be a while before I get to
that.
