Please stop copying my code

Hi @lelouch77,

I noticed that you copied (commit 9f7a0c9) almost the entire multi language search implementation from my library without any attribution or compliance with the license of my code. Please remove the offending code from your library or comply with the license.

Here's a list of code you copied from me:

Looks like you forgot to add the generated file to the .gitignore file: https://github.com/cmfcmf/docusaurus-search-local/blob/41d577cb736344faea94347b364f74c4398ea8ec/.gitignore#L1	https://github.com/lelouch77/docusaurus-lunr-search/blob/7baaafc12573eb39c6daa6b99b64f30ecc8f195c/src/lunr.client.js#L1-L5

It was a lot of work to understand and get multilingual search working.
Seeing you just copying all of that makes me sad and wonder what you'll copy next. 😕

Hi @cmfcmf, Since your code was licensed under MIT, I thought I can use it. I am sorry if it's offended you, I mentioned you in README file, if you are still not happy with it, I will remove it.

Once again sorry 🙏

[cmfcmf]

Thank you for apologizing and understanding my situation. I was offended when I stumbled upon my code in your repository, but your comment made me realise that there was likely no bad intention on your part.

Thank you for adding that sentence to the README. To be clear, the title of this issue should have been "Please stop copying my code without attribution" (sorry for the confusion). Because you're exactly right, my code is under the MIT license and thus explicitly allows copying the code. However, the MIT license requires you to include the copyright notice of the original code if you copy code. Therefore I would appreciate if you could also include a short comment similar to this comment in https://github.com/lelouch77/docusaurus-lunr-search/blob/master/src/utils.js.

Yep I added it https://github.com/lelouch77/docusaurus-lunr-search/blob/master/src/utils.js

Thanks and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Always add attribution lesson learned 👍

Thank you!
