+## Introduction
_This is a fork of davglass' [license-checker v.25.0.1](https://github.com/davglass/license-checker/releases/tag/v25.0.1) - Since that code doesn't seem to be updated regularly, I created this fork for being able to adding new features and fixing bugs._
_I changed the original `exclude` argument to `excludeLicenses` in order to prevent confusion and better align it with the `excludePackages` argument. Also, the argument `includeLicenses` has been added for listing only packages that include the licenses listed._

## How Licenses are Found
We walk through the `node_modules` directory with the [`read-installed-packages`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/read-installed-packages) module. Once we gathered a list of modules we walk through them and look at all of their `package.json`'s, We try to identify the license with the [`spdx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/spdx) module to see if it has a valid SPDX license attached. If that fails, we then look into the module for the following files: `LICENSE`, `LICENCE`, `COPYING`, & `README`.
If one of the those files are found (in that order) we will attempt to parse the license data from it with a list of known license texts. This will be shown with the `*` next to the name of the license to show that we "guessed" at it.
