Research direction

Start by locating the License and mkdocs.yaml files in the template and inspect where the 2024 copyright year is defined. Update both locations so they use the current year, then verify that generated or rendered project documentation shows the expected year.

Description

When using this template the License (and mkdocs.yaml) is fixed for the year 2024.
I quickly fixed this, that always the current year is inserted here (but I lack the rights to push the changes and create a PR).
