Go Licenser

Small zero dependency license header checker for source files. The aim of this project is to provide a common binary that can be used to ensure that code source files contain a license header. It's unlikely that this project is useful outside of Elastic at the current stage, but the licensing package can be used as a building block.

Supported Licenses

• Apache 2.0
• Elastic
• Elastic 2.0
• Elastic Cloud

Supported languages

• Go

Installing

go get -u github.com/elastic/go-licenser
