Topic: examples repo license

I'd like to go with the Creative Commons Zero license for the example repo so that no one has to include a "License and copyright notice" when they are copying basic examples.
Any objections?

That or just put a two line license header at the top of each file.

Though I think we have already decided to lean towards not having headers in each file and it is less work to manage to just not have the header.

Would be something like:

Also, with a separate example repo, how will we keep examples in sync with roc updates?
