update-license

This is a small tool that updates the license header for Uber's open source Golang files.

Installation

go get go.uber.org/tools/update-license

Usage

update-license go_files...

Further Work

  • Support more licenses by name (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc), file path, url (http GET)
  • Support custom owner (not just "Uber Technologies, Inc.")
  • Support more languages than go (cover go, java, js, py to start, along with LICENSE, LICENSE.txt)
  • Talk about removing custom logic for header comments (ie @generated, Code generated by), it probably makes more sense just to put the license at the top
  • Better detection support for existing licenses so they can be removed
  • Verbose, dry run support
