generate-license's Issues

Not working with npx

Instead of installing anything globally, I've moved to use npx which comes with npm 5, which is default with node 8

Expected this to work:

$ npx -p generate -p generate-license gen license

Instead I get this error trace

$ npx -p generate -p generate-license gen license
npx: installed 1432 in 18.068s

Generating GPLv3 license leaves placeholder fields verbatim

Hello,

When generating a gpl3 LICENSE file, it's contents contain the following blocks (lines 634 and 655):

    {one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.}
    Copyright (C) {year}  {name of author}

    {project}  Copyright (C) {year}  {fullname}
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

I think this tool should ask me for these values and populate them in my stead.

generate-license version 1.0.0, as reported by my package lock.

indentation is being stripped from first line

see #1 (comment)

The Up and Down arrow is not working.

While choosing options the up-down arrow doesn't work, only search is working.
