License confusion

Describe the bug

Hi, thanks for this great piece of software :-)

I stumbled over a small issue regarding the license (and since this is not a feature, I used the bug template, hope this is fine). In docs/principles.md you write Just don't sell it, as per our [license](https://github.com/foambubble/foam/blob/master/docs/LICENSE.txt)

https://github.com/foambubble/foam/blob/2fba6e90085729ea46533c016326a82da70f399d/docs/principles.md?plain=1#L40

and then in the License it says (emphasis mine):

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicence, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions [...]

I do not plan to sell anything, just wondering how this fits together.
