lice-js
====
A javascript port of [lice](https://github.com/licenses/lice-python) originally by [jcarbaugh](https://github.com/jcarbaugh)
>Lice generates license files. No more hunting down licenses from other projects.
Installation
------------
npm install lice-js
or:
git clone [email protected]:licenses/lice-js.git
cd lice-js
(sudo)npm link
Overview
--------
Generate a BSD-3 license, the default:
$ licejs
Copyright (c) 2013, Jeremy Carbaugh
All rights reserved.
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...
Generate an MIT license:
$ licejs mit
The MIT License (MIT)
Copyright (c) 2013 Jeremy Carbaugh
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
...
Generate an apache license header , specifying the year and organization to be used:
```
$ licejs gpl3 -y 2013 -o "aplomb bomb inc" -p "mySuperProjectName" --header
mySuperProjectName
Copyright (C) 2013 aplomb bomb inc
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
...
```
##Defaults
If no arguments are provided for available variables, the following will be used:
| Variable | Default |
| -------------------- |--------------------: |
| owner / organization | git user.name || $USER env variable |
| year | current year |
| project | current working directory|
| license type | bsd3 |
You can change any of these by using `--config` in the cli:
```
licejs --config.organization "The Interesing Co."
```
then if you want an MIT license for example:
```
$ licejs mit
The MIT License (MIT)
Copyright (c) 2013 The Interesing Co.
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
...
```
The Cli will check the config file first. Then if no value is found for a particular key it will get the values specified in table above.
I want XXXXXXXXX license in here!
---------------------------------
Great! Is it a license that is commonly used? If so, open an issue or, if you are feeling generous, fork and submit a pull request in the [license-templates](https://github.com/licenses/license-templates) repo.
