Add metadata to license and machine files #710

Closed ezekg closed 1 year ago

ezekg commented 1 year ago

Would be useful for e.g. user-locked license files, where the application can assert the current user matches the license file's user under the meta.metadata property. Though the naming meta.metadata could use some thought… 😅

This could already be accomplished using a machine file, where the user's email is the fingerprint.

Or, you could, ya know… add a user and then include the user in the license file. Closing, since this can already be accomplished that way, or by using license or machine metadata.
