A searx fork for OER

This is a proof of concept for connecting several free license centric repositories and other sites.

Main change is adding the SPDX License repository. (do a recursive checkout!) With this, we can (try) to match openly licenced content and provide this information to users.

further possible candidates, for openly licensed content:
