Question: How to use license text from config

[mwmahlberg]

Albeit cobra states it, a the field licensetext from the config file is ignored.

A proper documentation would be helpful, here.

It looks like this functionality doesn't actually exist. You can specify a license and if it matches one of the licenses included in cobra it will use that license but you can't specify your own. I'll submit a pull request to add this functionality which I think will also take care of #249.

Still not fixed.

Needs follow-up

[mwmahlberg]

@jharshman I can recheck, if that is of any help.

Trying to clean up the backlog (#1600) and I was unable to repro this. Using the example yaml from #261

license:
  header: This file is part of {{ .appName }}.
  text: |
    {{ .copyright }}
    This is my license. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
    My license is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must
    master my life.  

I did cobra init --config mycfg.yaml and the LICENSE file and headers were both customized as expected.
