There’s some possible confusion on the license of your repository when you combine other open-source code.

The module docs/_themes claims its license as the BSD-3 license in the LICENSE file. However, the license of your whole project is shown as the MIT license in LICENSE, i.e., less strict than BSD-3 on license terms, which may impact the whole license compatibility in your repository, thus confusing subsequent users and bringing possible legal and financial risks.

You can select another proper license for your repository, or update this license with exceptions for specific modules

@Ashley123456789 A bit belated but thank you for the comment! This will be addressed in the linked pr where we explicitly call out both licenses in the readme.
