Since this text appears on the main Regulations, I think we should avoid linking to something else that can imply the availability of a looser license.

If we want translations to specify looser languages, we could generalize the mechanism we use for "this translation is not an official version" at https://github.com/thewca/wca-regulations-translations#translation-instructions

This is the common procedure that Creative Commons provides to grant more rights (in this case, the right to distribute a translation). See "Simplest CC+ Example" here.

However, we may simply use the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 and only allow translations to be posted in our website.
