Sight. I was hoping that the example in the class JavaDoc would be enough. :)

Anyway, I took the opportunity and documented an example as integration test for future use:

They are initially generated during create. Setting force triggers "overriding" of those files during build with updated information. Sometimes this is not wanted. I can't remember the default for Orbit, though.

However, I noticed that a force will override the reference attribute of the license with the "good" one based on the hard-coded KnownLicenses values. Thus, I added a note to the new custom license.
