html entities in license template

Open jboulen opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello,

Is it intentional to use html entities in license template ? The markdown file available on gnu.org page does not use html entities.

In my personal opinion, HTML entities make the license document less readable in a text editor. =)

Well, the template has been like that since 7 years ago and I can't recall now what exact source it was based on. IMHO the entities still look good when viewing generated licence file on places like Github - e.g. https://github.com/mudrd8mz/moodle-tool_pluginskel/blob/main/LICENSE.md

Don't you think Github transforms all special html characters anyway when converting markdown to html?
