Is golicense abandoned?

[s-spindler]

@mitchellh Can you please shed some light on the status of this project? Do you think you will be able to look into some of the open issues & PRs in the near-ish future or are you busy?
In case of the latter: would you be open to adding contributors to the project?

@s-spindler in case it's of interest, we ended up building lichen to address a few shortcomings of golicense. It generally works in a similar way.

@nick-jones Very cool, thanks for sharing! I'll have to check it out in more detail but it seems as if lichen could cover my requirements.

@nick-jones thanks for sharing the pointer. Does lichen support Windows binaries? golicense does not: #4

I've just run some brief checks on Windows - I did have to push one fix in relation to how go version -m output is parsed (it didn't cater for the fact the path may contain a :). After that fix, it appears to be working OK:

(something is going wrong with the colours / ANSI escape sequences, which I still need to figure out - I'd say that's only a cosmetic issue, though.)
