Do you have a code snippet for it? I think this is the mostly used in maven based license checks.

You could extend the license-gradle-plugin with the license-maven-plugin-git since the gradle plugin is based on the mvn one.

I come here from @aalmiray's Kordamp Licensing Plugin, which applies this plugin.

I'm also looking for "wiser" copyright year ranges, which would reflect file creation time and last modification time. Having fixed ${inceptionYear}-${currentYear} doesn't feel good.

Note that it's how OpenJDK does it:

• 2018: file created in 2018, and not modified in 2019 (example)
• 2014-2019: file created in 2014 and last modified in 2019 (example)
• 2019: file created in 2019 (example)

@hierynomus, any chances you would provide such functionality? 🙂
