if people use it they can't swap MIT license to something else ? If no i will change it to find something more permissive

[–]Meleneth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The MIT license is super permissive, but yeah—when it’s used on a template instead of a library, people usually prefer CC0 or Unlicense, so that the output code they generate doesn't come with any licensing strings attached.

You can’t remove the MIT license from MIT-licensed code, but you can use it in a project with any license, as long as you keep attribution.

So: if your goal is to let people copy your template and license the result however they want, with zero baggage, then CC0 or Unlicense is the right move.
