Currently,
cargo-bundle-licensesgenerates a full list of possible licensing options. In most cases however, we'd like to ship our binary only with specific licensing option that we actually want to use, not an alternative of multiple choices.This PR adds a CLI option to retain only preferred licenses. Eg. pass
--prefer mitto prefer MIT over other licenses – if a package has multiple licensing options and MIT is among them, retain only MIT. You can also pass multiple preferences like:--prefer 'mit,apache 2.0,...'to define second- and – in general – licenses of n-th choice if the most preferred licensing options are unavailable.
