The scopatz repo is GPLv3+. I use their 
c,css,Dockerfile,fish,git,go,html,js,lua,makefile,markdown,nanorc,perl,php,python,sh,ts,xml,yaml
 syntax files (and have contributed to some of them). There could be some 
improvement with regards to consistency between them and other highlighting 
programs/standards (use the same color for strings across languages, e.g. micro 
(MIT) links colors to syntax things: 
https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/colorschemes/solarized.micro)

(Their syntax definitions look very similar to nano's 
https://github.com/zyedidia/highlight/blob/master/syntax_files/markdown.yaml)
