Choose a license

[franzliedke]

Package creators should be asked to choose a license for their library right away.

Just an idea, wouldn't it be just as effective to autorun composer init into the freshly created package directory, assuming if you need some of the information in there, a simple fread + json_decode() would do ?

[franzliedke]

I actually did that originally. However, since I was calling it from a Symfony command line application using Symfony's process component, input and output weren't passed on correctly.

I'll have to reimplement this part.

Ok, don't hesitate if you need any help, i'd be glad to contribute.

[franzliedke]

Feel free to send a new part via PR.

This isn't high on my list, so I won't get in your way. ;)

[RemiCollin]

Ok, will have a look at it :)

[franzliedke]

I will use Composer's spdx-licenses library to implement this - it's already included.
