First off - thank you for this project. This is a great resource for first-time Open Source Go contributors.

Regarding the license. I'm reasonably sure your intent was to make this template project effectively public domain, so that people could use it to create a project with any license they wanted -- as evidence, you even mention the MIT license as an option in the Readme.md. But... there's an Apache-flavored License.txt file in the repo. Which is handy for people who want to start an Apache licensed project!

Anyway... my suggestion is, if this is your intent to make this template available for any license, maybe you could explicitly declare the project to be Public Domain in the Readme, or otherwise explicitly grant permission for people to relicense the contents -- even though it's mostly fill-in-the-blanks contents :) -- to eliminate any possible ambiguity.

Great feedback! 100 agree. When things calm down, I'll update the REAME to be explicit about that. Until then feel free to relicense as you want.
