Hello,
Within a Github project, I have a problematic LICENSE.md file with numerous MD029 warnings. I don't think I can see the solution to this problem, even though it's probably very simple.
Thanks

A few quick ideas:

Decide not to care about the warnings :)
Tell VS Code to treat that file as something other than Markdown (see VS Code documentation)
Use an inline comment to disable the lint rule (see this project documentation)
Use a configuration file to tell the extension to ignore the license file (see extension documentation)
Change the content indent so the license file has 1 ordered list instead of 30 separate ones
