Cool Scott, this looks all great. I don't think there is a need to put
licenses into subfolders on the system, but that is cool to read through
directories for all necessary files.

If you all look there, you can see some nice mockups which this connects
with! Get excited! Anyone interested in helping move this forward as
well?
