Unable to find the text ' Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of ' following a variable rule 'copyright' starting at line #40 column #68 "". Last optional text was not found due to the optional difference: Normal text of license does not match starting at line #1 column #1 "-*-" when comparing to template text "MIT License "
