For instance, the apm-agent-python uses a different license header based on ## rather than//.

Although there are certain variations which refers to the copyright section, for instance:

#  BSD 3-Clause License
#
#  Copyright (c) 2012, the Sentry Team, see AUTHORS for more details
#  Copyright (c) 2019, Elasticsearch BV
#  All rights reserved.

Ideally, the license header could be templated in a file and the passed as an argument to the go-licenser.
