Misleading license claim in footer #43

Closed LilithHafner closed 4 months ago

LilithHafner commented 4 months ago

The docs built by https://github.com/LilithHafner/Chairmarks.jl/pull/10 (specifically commit https://github.com/LilithHafner/Chairmarks.jl/pull/10/commits/b12a6c88169e268d1b52584545d6bf40a36662df) include the footer "© Copyright 2024. Released under the MIT License." despite the content for the docs being released under GPL-3 (and not MIT) and the documentation building commands not requesting an MIT license footer.

I would prefer in order of utility:

Auto-detect license file and contents and say "Released under [License abbr.](link to license file)"
Auto-detect license file and say "Released under [license](link to license file)"
Say nothing (what documenter.jl does)
Introduce a license the user did not ask for (current)

The root of this is in following the "copy the .vitepress folder" instructions. Perhaps a good solution would be to include a template folder that does not include non-generic content (e.g. also does not prepopulate the navbar with the pages in this repo's documentation)
