Research direction

Start by locating the CLI's license-selection entry point and inventorying its current options. Use the linked license overview to define the reduced set of popular licenses, make MIT the default, and verify that the generator presents only those choices.

Description

Right now license sector is overwhelming and contains too many options (in random order), and many of them are just bad options for open source extension. This increases chances that someone unfamiliar with licensing will pick problematic license. I suggest to limit options to the most popular ones, and set MIT as default. Some overview of the most popular licenses can be seen at https://rob006-software.github.io/flarum-translations/status/licenses.html
