I have somewhat of a similar setup and this works for me:

models.py

class Customers(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(("Customer name"), max_length=200)

class Licenses(models.Model):
    customer = models.ForeignKey(Customers, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

views.py

def licenses (request):
    lic = Licenses.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'licenses.html',{'lic': lic})

licenses.html

{% for license in lic %}
{{ license.customer.name }}
{% endfor %}

If User is the Django default user model, it's simply

writer.first_name

-- e.g. if your example is in a post model you're rendering,

{{ post.writer.first_name }}

in a template.
