Description

I think it would be a good idea to use [addlicense](https://github.com/google/addlicense) as linter in this project to ensure no copyright + license headers are missing. But I have identified the following issues to be resolved in order to use it for this:
- https://github.com/google/addlicense/issues/164
- https://github.com/google/addlicense/issues/162
- https://github.com/google/addlicense/issues/163

Research direction

Start by reviewing the addlicense project and the three upstream issues linked in the report, then inspect this repository's CI configuration to find where a linter would fit. Done means the identified addlicense limitations are resolved or accounted for and CI reliably checks copyright and license headers.
