 Do you always forget what the dang github api thing is?
 Or I don't know, have some other reason why doing licenses is hard?
 
 Well now you don't have to worry!

-## License source
+You can use an output file of `-` (i.e., `licensor -o-`) to print the license to
+stdout.
 
-As of v0.2, `licenser` gets its licenses from
-[another repo](https://git.sr.ht/~acdw/licenser-licenses),
-to streamline additions to available licenses.
-If you have spotty internet connection or want to use your own license source,
-you can change the environment variable `$LICENSER_SOURCE`.
+### Available licenses
 
-For v0.3, I want to add a configuration file to take care of these kinds of
-configurations.
+Licenses are pulled from [SPDX][]'s [git repository of licenses][spdx-git].
+This includes all of the more common licenses, and honestly, if you're wanting
+to do something weird is `licensor` the right project for you?
 
-## Contributing
+*That being said, adding the ability for arbitrary license "repositories" is
+probably for the best.*

+[SPDX]: https://spdx.org/licenses/
+[spdx-git]: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/
+
+### Templating
+
+SPDX uses a [particular templating format][spdx-template-format] that `licensor`
+can read and use.  As of v1.0, only `beginOptional`/`endOptional` and
+`var;name="copyright"` fields are filled in; all others are stripped from output.
 
-Send me a request for another license or a pull-thingy
-through [the mailing list](~acdw/licenser@lists.sr.ht).
+## Configuring
+
+There are some environment variables you can set to change `licensor`'s default
+behavior:
+
+- `LICENSE_REPO_VERSION` : 3.17
+- `LICENSE_REPO_URL` : `https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/archive/refs/tags/v$LICENSE_REPO_VERSION.tar.gz`
+- `LICENSE_REPO_PATH` : `license-list-data-$LICENSE_REPO_VERSION/template`
+- `LICENSOR_LICENSE` : MIT
+- `LICENSOR_OUTPUT_FILE` : COPYING
