I'm not a brilliant programmer, but isn't it simply a case of
1) having an array with all possible (or at least, the most popular)
licenses and their template tags
2) parsing all {{template}} tags
3) matching the template tags with the licenses array and using that to
display the license in the Mayflower results screen?
