It doesn't make any sense to show the license of the main branch when I just switched to a different one, no. If they want to take the lazy route, just stop showing licenses on anything but the main branch.

And incidentally they could use that new feature to remove the search bar when not on the main branch since that's not going to search the current branch, but it won't provide any warning or indication that you're not searching what you thought you were.

You are aware that github has a branch switcher right there on the "project page" right?
