Add explicit information about licensing/modification of starterkit and demokit #32

Closed pReya closed 1 year ago

This came up recently with Discord, and I just had a very similar question by one of my clients:

Would it be possible to explicitly add a License to the repo, or at least add some information on the licensing agreement regarding starterkit and demokit:

Can they be used/copied and modified for commercial/privat projects? Is credit necessary or not?

We added a note about this on the README (important to differentiate between Kirby itself which gets bundled in the Starterkit and files such as templates, snippets...):

While Kirby as the CMS software itself requires you to purchase a license, we consider the files primarily connected to this Starterkit (assets, templates, snippets...) free to use under the MIT license. Feel free to start building your own project with them.
