Does it generate the actual license files?

Yes, the skill provides standardized templates and helper scripts to populate and place the correct LICENSE files directly into your repository.

How does it handle multi-licensing?

It offers strategies and file structure templates for projects using dual-licensing, such as GPL + Commercial, to support diverse business models and user requirements.

Can this skill help with non-code projects?

Yes, it includes specific decision trees for Creative Commons licenses suitable for documentation, media, and tutorials, ranging from CC0 to CC-BY-NC.

What is a time-delayed open-source license?

The skill explains models like FSL-1.1-MIT, where code starts as source-available to provide a commercial protection window and automatically converts to a permissive MIT license after two years.

How does this skill help me choose between MIT and Apache-2.0?
