Feature Description

Most licenses in options/license are currently formatted as very long lines instead of using text wrapping. This can makes them hard to read on some text editor.

It seems like they used to be 80 characters but that this was overriden by the last commit from GiteaBot.

I tried looking for similar issue but couldn't find any, please feel free to enlighten me if there is a reason as to why this is currently the case.

Similar wrapping is performed already for licenses.txt generation, but I guess we'd need the equivalent of wrap-ansi in golang. It have to respect ANSI codes, though as licenses are unlikely to contain those.
