This repository was public with no licence, which for a template is the awkward case:
a template exists to be copied, and without a licence nobody formally may. GitHub reported
it as unlicensed.

  • MIT, Copyright (c) 2026 Edgar Adrian Padilla Vega — the legal name, since a
    copyright notice is a legal assertion.
  • A README License section stating what the licence covers — this template's own
    files: the Makefile, the git and pre-commit configuration, the CI stubs, the rulesets
    and the documentation — and that a repository created from it inherits those under the
    same terms while remaining free to relicense its own work on top.

Unlike dotnet-template there is no package metadata to keep in step: this repo ships no
NuGet package, so there is no PackageLicenseExpression and nothing to pack. The licence
lives in the file and the README alone.
