# A Simple Script to Update License Text
The lengthy block text often used by open source developers to include a license
in their projects has been superceded by the SPDX License standard, which
reduces the length of the license text to a single, machine-readable line.
This project automates the process of replacing block license text with
SPDX-compliant text or adding the same where no license text is present.
