I defer to Legal for advice on the license for the Toolhub itself.  I think, however, that it is important to have a very noticeable statement saying that the license for each individual tool is as identified by the owner(s) of that tool, and that the Toolhub license applies only to the information collected in the Toolhub pages.  That allows the owners of the tools to designate a different license as appropriate to their tool. 

One person's thoughts only.

Do any of you have past experience in choosing a content license for a
new Wikimedia project?

I had the horrible realization today that this has not been done for
Toolhub. I have filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288832 with
my initial ideas. I have also reached out via private message (slack)
to the Foundation's Legal team for their advice on policies and
procedures that need to be followed for this kind of thing.

Regardless of your past experience selecting licenses for a whole
project, if you have strong and informed opinions on CC0 vs CC-BY for
the type of data that Toolhub will aggregate I welcome your feedback
here or on the Phabricator task.
