Originally created by @garethsaxby on GitHub (Dec 24, 2015).
The original source of this fork, kahun/awesome-sysadmin, has no license against it, so is covered under standard copyright, whilst this fork has the CC-BY-SA license applied in this commit.
I believe the fork occurred at this commit with the tree at this time not containing a license.
Was permission obtained from the original maintainer? I know that the original project is in a very infrequently updated state, however with no license on the original content, if there's no permission then it seems that there's no right to apply a license to this repo?
Sorry if this has been discussed before; I've had a search through the issues and couldn't see any mention of the license against the repository itself.

I tried and failed to contact him multiple times, but I doubt that this doesn't fall under Fair Use or that he has anything against it. It's just a list.
I asked that myself and then concluded that the facts that @kahun accepted contributions and allowed forks before as well as his name in the "forked from kahun/awesome-sysadmin" below the repository name would be enough for now.
If you can contact him somehow, I'd really appreciate it.
@n1trux commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2016):
License of @kahun's repo is now CC-BY-SA, which should be covered by mentioning him at the top of the repository. If @kahun likes, I'll add a file with all the contributors in them.
