This workflow uses
addlicenseto check that files added in a PR contain the standard copyright and license statements. The workflow can be used as a required CI check.The
addlicenseprogram doesn't provide an easy way to tell it which files to ignore. A feature of this workflow is that it overcomes this limitation by reading file paths to ignore from the file.github/workflows/config/license-checker-ignore.txt. This makes it easy to update the list of files to be ignored without having to edit the workflow itself.
