🚀 Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the project lacks an integrated feature to automatically generate or select an appropriate open-source license. This forces users to manually research, choose, and add license files to their projects, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to propose the implementation of a license generation feature. This could be achieved through one or a combination of the following:

1. Interactive License Selection: A command-line interface (CLI) or a simple UI that guides the user through a series of questions to help them choose the most suitable open-source license for their project (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0, GPLv3).
2. License File Generation: Based on the user's selection, the feature would automatically create a LICENSE or LICENSE.md file with the chosen license text, pre-populated with project-specific information if possible (e.g., current year, author name).
3. Integration with Project Configuration: Potentially, this feature could be integrated into the project's build or configuration process, allowing for easy selection and regeneration of licenses.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Manual License Addition: Users can manually find license templates online and add them to their projects. This is the current state and is suboptimal.
• Third-Party Tools: Using external tools like choosealicense.com or other license management utilities. While functional, integrating this directly into the project would offer a more streamlined developer experience.

Additional context

Adding a license generation feature would significantly improve the usability and legal clarity of projects built with this tool. It would empower users to easily comply with open-source licensing best practices.
