This rule will report every Kotlin source file which doesn't have the required license header. The rule validates each Kotlin source and operates in two modes: if licenseTemplateIsRegex = false (or missing) the rule checks whether the input file header starts with the read text from the passed file in the licenseTemplateFile configuration option. If licenseTemplateIsRegex = true the rule matches the header with a regular expression produced from the passed template license file (defined via licenseTemplateFile configuration option).

Options

• licenseTemplateFile (default: license.template)

  path to file with license header template resolved relatively to config file

• licenseTemplateIsRegex (default: False)

  whether or not the license header template is a regex template
