License Picker

Generate open-source license text from a supported license id, holder name, and year. This generator prints to stdout by default and writes LICENSE only when the user passes --write.

Workflow

  1. Choose a supported license id.
  2. Run scripts/generate_license.py with --license, --holder, and --year.
  3. Review the generated license text.
  4. Write LICENSE only with --write. Existing files require --force.

Guardrails

  • Do not choose a license for the user as legal advice.
  • Do not fetch license text from the network.
  • Do not overwrite LICENSE unless --force is present.

Verification

Run tests/test_license.py. The generated MIT fixture must match fixtures/expected/LICENSE.

Limits

This package ships license templates and fills placeholders. It is not legal advice.

Commercial Terms

Price: $0 / 0 credits. Free commercial use for personal or internal team workflows. Do not resell or redistribute the package as-is.
