$ license -name Alice -y 2017 apache-2.0

The output includes Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner} instead of filling in the supplied values.

The placeholders are intentional: that section of the license explains to readers how to use the license for their own projects. For instance, see the same line in httpd's license: https://github.com/apache/httpd/blob/trunk/LICENSE#L189, which has the Copyright {yyyy} {name of copyright owner} part.

Ah, my mistake! Thanks.
