set up a way to cite?

We could use zenodo: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content

It would be nice if people were given a way to cite this tool.

It's seem really easy to do this. We may want to decide if now is a good time to submit (we can always submit again). One thing we may want to consider is changing the license from GPL3 to something more permissive (MIT)? @iantaylor-NOAA do you have thoughts on this?

[Rick-Methot-NOAA]

NOAA must use very permissive. Suggest cco

@Rick-Methot-NOAA , these are all open source licenses, so I think they are all in line with the guidance?

[iantaylor-NOAA]

I'm happy to change the license now, and am happy with whatever @k-doering-NOAA recommends based on her reading of the NOAA guidance. The license for r4ss started with MIT (because Google Code required a license of some kind and that seemed the most open of the default options they offered). However, I switched from MIT to GPL in 2012 (with this commit) to facilitate using code from other GPL packages. However, this helper repository doesn't have any of the code that r4ss used from other GPL packages, so I see no issue in switching back for this repo. I will open a separate issue about re-licensing r4ss, where we should probably take a few additional steps.

@Andrea-Havron contributed significantly to the code in this repository but was a NOAA postdoc at the time, so I think this repo (currently made up of the (shiny app for exploring selectivity in SS3) can be considered a completely NOAA product.

Let's hold off on license changes until I can get a bit more NOAA counsel guidance.
