licensed

⚖ licensed is a simple, interactive command line interface to help you choose and quickly add a LICENSE file to your project.

Setup

Make sure you have NodeJS (npm 5.2+) installed on your computer. Then, setup is as simple as:

• $ npx licensed

If you've got an older version of node (npm version < 5.2) that doesn't yet have npx, here's a more traditional setup:

• $ npm i -g licensed

Usage

After installation, navigate to your project directory ie. the directory you want your LICENSE file to be placed. Then:

• $ licensed

This will bring up an option to either initiate a questionnaire that will aid you in choosing and appropriate license for your project, or simply choose a license from a list of available licenses.

You can also use the CLI like so, by entering the license name and then your name (in single/double quotes):

• $ licensed mit "Dwight Schrute"

which will create a LICENSE file with the MIT License under the name Dwight Schrute.

Available licenses to choose from (currently):

• Apache 2.0
• BSD-2-Clause
• BSD-3-Clause
• GNU General Public License
• ISC
• MIT
• Mozilla Public License 2.0

Contributions

• If you are aware of more licenses, help expand the list by suggesting or creating a pull request with the license text and name added to the src/licenses.js.
• Any other positive suggestions for this project are welcome :)
