Contradiction between LICENSE.md and README.md

[eliminmax]

According to LICENSE.md, this theme is available under the MIT license, which has the following terms:

README.md contains the following:

License

This template is 100% FREE as long as you keep the footer attribution link. You do not have the rights to resell,
sublicense or redistribute (even for free) the template on its own or as a separate attachment from any of your work.
If you’d like to use this template without the footer attribution link, you can buy the
commercial license

You may change the "Ported for..." line by adding the following to the end of config.toml

   [params.footer]
       copyright = ""

There is a direct contradiction there, and it's probably a good idea to remove one or the other.

On the one hand the LICENSE within the repository refers to the Hugo theme, but the section you reference in the README refers to the original template which I have no control over. In other words, there are two distinct parts to this project / repository.

So you may use the original DevResume template outside of this Hugo theme, and when doing so you must adhere to the author's license. But the LICENSE within this repository refers to your use of this Hugo theme - which effectively wraps the original template.

So I actually don't see a conflict. if you see this project as being made up of two distinct parts - a Hugo theme and a html template. You are free to use the Hugo theme according to the license, but in order to use the template you must comply with the original author's license.

Maybe I should review this though - I have not looked at this project in some time, and I am sure it is due an update, so I might also review this issue at the same time. I'll have to consult the Hugo docs to see if there are any issues to changing the LICENSE of the Hugo theme.

Thanks for the comments. I'd welcome your thoughts on my points above.
