Defining a plugin license as simple array

This is great if you want to point to your own license document.

App::plugin(
  name: 'my/plugin',
  extends: [...],
  license: [
    'name'   => 'Custom license',
    'link'   => 'https://mylicenseshop.com',
    'status' => 'active',
  ]
);

Setting a custom status

App::plugin(
  name: 'my/plugin',
  extends: [...],
  license: [
    'name' => 'Custom license',
    'status' => [
      'value' => 'missing',
      'theme' => 'negative',
      'label' => 'Get a license please',
      'icon'  => 'alert'
      'link'  => 'https://mylicenseshop.com',
    ]
  ]
);

A Custom license for your plugin

You can also pass a license object. Extend our Kirby\Plugin\License class to return a custom status, theme, icon and label, depending on the state of your plugin’s license. You can also set a link or your custom dialog's/drawer's endpoint. This is great if you are working with a proprietary license for your plugin, which might still need to purchased/activated by the user.
