Description

I was just playing around with your tech docs template (to check if this might be of interest for my private projects) and noticed the footer with the hardcoded license / crown copyright.

Is it possible to add a flag similar to show_govuk_logo to disable / overwrite this?

(I also tried creating my own source/layouts/_footer.erb but that didn't seem to do the trick. )

Research direction

Start by reading source/layouts/_footer.erb and the existing show_govuk_logo option to understand how footer templates and configuration are handled. Verify why a project-level source/layouts/_footer.erb override is not used; done means users can disable or overwrite the hardcoded license/copyright footer through a documented option.
