   Github uses Licensee to detect licenses within projects, which should be able to find license information from your package.json or similar files:

   https://github.com/benbalter/licensee/blob/master/lib/licensee/project_files/package_manager_file.rb#L20

   (interestingly, I'm not seeing "MIT" show up for this repo, which has it listed in the package.json. strange!)

   There's some more to it than that I believe, I know there are some specific requirements to the file itself. However, if you're pulling the templates directly from the GitHub API... 🤔

   Edit: For this repo you'd still need the actual LICENSE file for the MIT thing to show up 💪

   Edit2: Oh no that can't be right otherwise this whole project wouldn't work 🤔
