I was asked today how to get permission to use the image in the README. I went to see what the content is licensed with and there doesn't seem to be an indication.

What kind of license should we add? Something Creative Commons since there is no code in this repo?

Yeah, I imagine we'd need to consult with the Foundation (and I can bring this to the CPC), but CC0 would be great by me. If we want to restrict people's ability to alter the image (so they don't alter it to include the wrong dates or an unsavory message), there's CC-BY-ND.

And for more options: https://creativecommons.org/about/cclicenses/

If it helps at all with deciding what license, we generate the image using https://github.com/nodejs/lts-schedule (which has its own license ambiguity nodejs/lts-schedule#13) based on the schedule.json data in this repository.
