Currently it only checks if the file has the license header and does not validate the year on the license
Would be nice to check if the year on the header matches the one passed in as the argument or the default one (current year)

Hey @Shabirmean, I'd be curious to hear your reaction to my comment on #60 about leaving off the current year entirely, as some have done.

I see! The year necessarily is not important as per guidelines as long as the file has the year in which it was first create. Cool!
