Content-type header for text versions

[dato]

It would be great if text versions of the licenses were served as text/plain. Currently, the Content-Type header for this format is set to application/octet-streamin the response.

@dato ack, thanks! and yes++.
Weirdly enough we are doing nothing special there. The file are served as-is by Github pages so this must be something weird there.

Based on https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#mime-types-on-github-pages GH maps a type based on an extension and does NOT recognize .LICENSE as a text extension in https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db
We could either:

• contribute .LICENSE and .RULE (and .ABOUT) there
• or switch to a .txt extension
