`go get github.com/google/go-licenses` is broken about go-licenses

[michaelokuboyejo]

It seems to be because of this commit 24e2421

which uses the latest version of google's licenseclassifier which was updated 6 days ago to drop support for go 1.14 and 1.15

google/licenseclassifier@3043a05

All of a sudden, my team's CI stopped building our project 😢

We tried to build a new builder image and ended up with this error:

package embed: unrecognized import path "embed": import path does not begin with hostname
package io/fs: unrecognized import path "io/fs": import path does not begin with hostname

I am quite unsure what happened there but we'll have to pin our CI to a previous commit it seems.

Updating to go 1.16 fixed this for me. (Hopefully I won't end up having dependencies that require me to downgrade.)

After upgrading to go 1.17 now this works for me:

go install github.com/google/go-licenses
$GOPATH/bin/go-licenses

Updated documentation, go >= v1.16 is required for latest version of go-licenses.
