This adds a new "-s" flag that will append an SPDX-License-Identifier line to license headers. If "-s=only" is specified, then only the SPDX identifier will be used. This also changes the "-l" flag to use SPDX identifiers, with mappings to support the legacy "apache", "mit", and "mpl" values. Together with the "-s" flag, this allows SPDX headers for any arbitrary license type to be added to files. Co-authored-by: Bob Callaway <bcallawa@redhat.com>
addlicense
The program ensures source code files have copyright license headers by scanning directory patterns recursively.
It modifies all source files in place and avoids adding a license header to any file that already has one.
