Right now it will just overwrite the existing LICENSE with the new one. I think a better behavior is to say:

There is already a license present in current directory. Do you want to overwrite it with a new one? Y/N

Would be great if there was an option to instead generate LICENSE.md with the license in Markdown format.

Hey Nikita,

When I've been making PRs, I haven't been testing the code locally, since I don't know how

I tried go get ./..., but I get an error message saying:

go get: no install location for directory /Users/john/license-up outside GOPATH
	For more details see: 'go help gopath'

How to you test locally? This is probably good to add to CONTRIBUTING.md

Name Surname <email> (website) is great I think.

As we start adding more licenses (#18), it's going to be harder to add all of the license text into individual go files. We should have some script to automate this process

Automation is a necessity since the licenses are getting longer!

Also, the root directory will start getting crowded the more licenses we add to it (#18) ... we should move all the license go files to licenses/ to clean up the root directory.

• BSD
• cc0-1.0 (example)

From #35 (comment), this is a nice feature to have ... and I have an idea that ties nicely into #19.

Below is a list of popular licenses that we should think about adding (taken from opensource.org):

• Apache License 2.0
• GNU General Public License (GPL)
  • GNU General Public License version 2
  • GNU General Public License version 3
• GNU Library or "Lesser" General Public License (LGPL)
  • GNU Library General Public License, version 2
  • GNU Library General Public License, version 2.1
  • GNU Library General Public License, version 3
• Mozilla Public License 2.0
• Common Development and Distribution License
• Eclipse Public License

Plus the ones that have already been requested in issues (@AkdM)

• WTFPL (#12)
• Unlicense (#11)

Please feel free to add any licenses that you would like to include
I'll try to keep this up to date

Or give option to either lowercase it or not.

Or at least give the option to do it. I prefer it lowercased.

We should definitely use https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/changelog
