Inaccurate copyright message in footer #437

The footer of the site contains a copyright notice reservering all rights.

'Copyright The Wagtail Bakery, 2019. All rights reserved.'

This is inaccurate. According to the readme of this repository, all content is in the public domain. This contradicts the notice in the footer.

bakerydemo/readme.md

Lines 218 to 220 in ec5a5f8

### Ownership of demo content
All content in the demo is public domain. Textual content in this project is either sourced from Wikimedia (Wikipedia for blog posts, [Wikibooks for recipes](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Table_of_Contents)) or is lorem ipsum. All images are from either Wikimedia Commons or other copyright-free sources.
)

Suggestion

The footer should explain this is a demo and that the content is in the public domain. Perhaps a summarized version of what is in the readme.

With the perspective of this being a demo site, the footer seems fine to me as-is, as it’s somewhat representative of the content a real site would have there. If we want the footer to explain this is a demo that’s fine too, but that’s just a different approach rather than improving the accuracy of the current content.


Note the README section you mention is only a very handwavy record of how the content was sourced, it’s not meant as a public domain dedication. Wikimedia content isn’t "public domain" in the legal sense to start with, it’s CC BY-SA 4.0.
