Feature Details

First of all, thanks for creating licensecheck.

It would be nice to set the project's license by using an command line argument instead of using pyproject.toml or setup.cfg.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

This allows an easier integration for Python projects that aren't packages, which don't require a pyproject.toml or setup.cfg. It also makes it easier to use within the context of a pipeline and or bash scripts.

Describe the solution you'd like

Shorthand:

$ licensecheck -l MIT .

Long version:

$ licensecheck --license MIT .

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I've added a pyproject.toml to get licensecheck working correctly. Having a pyproject.toml for licensecheck only feels a bit like abusing.
