+# licenser: plop a license in there
+
+Are you tired of copying and pasting licenses into your new projects?
+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!
+Just run `licenser` in your new repo and BLAMMO!
+Done.
+
+## Usage
+
+literally taken from `licenser -h`
+
+```
+licenser [-h|-l] [-y YEAR] [-a AUTHOR] [-o FILE] LICENSE
+
+	-h		show this help and exit
+	-l		list available licenses and exit
+	-f		overwrite existing license
+	-y YEAR		set the copyright date to YEAR
+	-a AUTHOR	set the copyright holder to AUTHOR
+	-o FILE		output to FILE
+	LICENSE		which license to use
+
+	YEAR defaults to the current year.
+	AUTHOR is guessed by the following, in order:
+		- git config --get user.name
+		- getent passwd $USER
+		- $USER
+	FILE defaults to LICENSE in the current directory
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+Send me a request for another license or a pull-thingy
+through [the mailing list](~acdw/licenser@lists.sr.ht).
+
+Or, look at the [roadmap](https://todo.sr.ht/~acdw/licenser).
+
+## License
+
+MIT, baby.
