I would suggest actually naming the license under which it is released if you're talking about the website that is generated by your software. If you're talking about the content of a website describing your project, like a landing page or something like that, I'd either attribute copyright to who wrote the content, or release it under a Creative Commons license such as CC-BY-NC.
Just a note - NC (noncommercial) and ND (non-derivative) would make it non-FOSS. CC BY-SA (share alike) is FOSS compatible.
It wouldn't be FOSS because a landing page with nothing but content isn't software. I'm referring to the site at blender.org vs the source code for an application at a git repository.

Content can be FOSS, there are FOSS music and movies.
