# lice-tddschn

Fork of [Lice](https://github.com/licenses/lice), [original license](LICENSE-orig).

lice-tddschn is made faster by not importing the large `pkg_resources` module.

Lice generates license files. No more hunting down licenses from other
projects.

## Overview

Generate a BSD-3 license, the default:

$ lice
Copyright (c) 2013, Jeremy Carbaugh

All rights reserved.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...

Generate an MIT license:

$ lice mit
The MIT License (MIT)
Copyright (c) 2013 Jeremy Carbaugh

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
...

Generate a BSD-3 license, specifying the year and organization to be
used:

$ lice -y 2012 -o "Sunlight Foundation"
Copyright (c) 2012, Sunlight Foundation

All rights reserved.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...

Generate a BSD-3 license, formatted for python source file:

$ lice -l py

# Copyright (c) 2012, Sunlight Foundation
#
# All rights reserved.
#
# Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...

Generate a python source file with a BSD-3 license commented in the
header:

$ lice -l py -f test
$ ls
test.py
$ cat test.py

# Copyright (c) 2012, Sunlight Foundation
#
# All rights reserved.
#
# Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...

Generate a source file (language detected by -f extension):

$ lice -f test.c && cat test.c
/*

*
* Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,
...

If organization is not specified, lice will first attempt to use git config to find your name. If not found, it
will use the value of the $USER environment variable. If the project
name is not specified, the name of the current directory is used. Year
will default to the current year.

You can see what variables are available to you for any of the licenses:

$ lice --vars mit
The mit license template contains the following variables:
year
organization

## 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.
