I need some help understanding the MIT software license, because I have a conundrum.
I'm using a blog temlate licensed under the MIT license https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog/blob/main/LICENSE
The license requires this copyright notice to the software creator, if I understand it correctly.
However, this is a problem for me, because I don't want to attribute the content of my blog, which I have in the same repo, to the copyright holder of the software. That would be ridiculous, and I'm pretty sure that's not what he wants. I've kept the repo private, and mostly not thought about it.
But now I want to upgrade versions and I'm thinking about it and it's bothering me.
I have some ridiculous ideas for how to solve the conundrum, including using a different template, or figuring out some stupid way to split the blog contents and the package, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
