Hello,

When generating a gpl3 LICENSE file, it's contents contain the following blocks (lines 634 and 655):

    {one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.}
    Copyright (C) {year}  {name of author}
    {project}  Copyright (C) {year}  {fullname}
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

I think this tool should ask me for these values and populate them in my stead.

generate-license version 1.0.0, as reported by my package lock.

After re-reading the document through I realized that they're not meant to be edited in are merely examples on how to disclaim the license within the software. Closing.
