Lightly modified third party components ACE and ppx_metaquot are

The public instance of Learn OCaml uses the Fontin font instead of
Biolinum. This font is licensed under the exljbris Font Foundry Free
Font License Agreement, which, to our understanding, does not allow us
to redistribute it. See http://www.exljbris.com/eula.html. You will
optionally have to procure the files by yourself while building the
app. If not, the CSS provides a reasonable fallback font.

Contributions to this repository are placed under the MIT

the rest of the codebase, while you keep all the rights on your code.
And we will not have to bother you with any future license update.
