- Licenses: IQAndreas/markdown-licenses - Unlicense
- Readme: me-and-company/readme-template - MIT
- Changelog: olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog - MIT
Currently supported licenses (default: gnu-gpl-v3.0):
- artistic-v2.0, bsd-2, bsd-3, epl-v1.0, gnu-agpl-v3.0, gnu-fdl-v1.3, gnu-gpl-v1.0, gnu-gpl-v2.0, gnu-gpl-v3.0, gnu-lgpl-v2.1, gnu-lgpl-v3.0, mit, mpl-v2.0, unlicense
