pLICENSE

A tiny CLI app that allows you to add open-source licenses to your project interactively

Copypasting license content everytime you start a new project is repetitive and boring, since you even need to check if there any copyright information you need to change (It's a lot!).

pLICENSE (Project license) is a simple, fast and powerful CLI tool for adding open-source licenses to your project.
