 _This is a fork of davglass' [license-checker v.25.0.1](https://github.com/davglass/license-checker/releases/tag/v25.0.1) - Since that code doesn't seem to be updated regularly, I created this fork for being able to adding new features and fixing bugs._
 
 _I changed the original `exclude` argument to `excludeLicenses` in order to prevent confusion and better align it with the `excludePackages` argument. Also, the argument `includeLicenses` has been added for listing only packages that include the licenses listed._

This part of the code is still subject to improvements, but for now it works better than before.
 Also, some minor bugs in the code have been fixed.
 All in all I did a lot of refactoring for helping me with future improvements (bug fixes and new features), as the code now is easier to understand than before (and still is a pretty big mess to me).
