License

Right now it just copies the one from the MIT course. Should users of this template just replace the names (@fonsp et al) by their own? Or should there be some reference to the MIT course left?

I never know what to do with template repositories.... but at least we can simplify it because this template is only taking code from the original, so we can remove the part about text.

But the only thing we care about in terms or reuse is that people include a small link back to https://computationalthinking.mit.edu/ somewhere on the site. (See "How to cite" on our homepage.) Code attribution is not as important, we just want the link to improve both of our SEOs.

So maybe we could:

• Remove the LICENSE.md file altogether, it will be up to the people who use the repository to choose their license.
• Add the link back to https://computationalthinking.mit.edu/ somewhere in the template, like the bottom of index.md (EDIT: Wow you did this already!), with an HTML comment asking people to leave it in.

What do you think?

We could also add a file:

TEMPLATE_LICENSE.md that contains a copy of the MIT license from 18S191, with a bit of text explaining that this repo is based on a template with the following license, click here to try out another amazing julia course!

(Because I believe that it's required to keep a copy of the license, if you are "redistributing" the code.)

Btw thanks so much again for working on this!! You are a blessing 🙏 This makes me love open source!
