The command "license ${license_name}" is a placeholder command that needs a specific value to be substituted for "${license_name}".
In this command, "license" is a keyword or command that typically refers to the act of granting permission or legal rights to use a certain product, service, or software. The term "license" is widely used in the context of software or intellectual property rights.
The "${license_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name/statement of the license. For example, if the command is executed as "license MIT", it is equivalent to the specific instructions or documentation related to the MIT License.
To properly explain the command, one needs to know the actual value that replaces "${license_name}".
