While working on adding a few more licenses, I stumbled across the BSD Zero Clause License, which raises some problems for the current implementation of license checking. This is the license I am talking about (from choosealicense.com):

The current implementation of licenses detection is by comparing the text with the start of the file, which here raises a problem. The problem with this is that the start of the license changes for every project, meaning that there is no start to check with that we call boil into the code. A possible solution for this would be, instead of checking for the start of the file, check if the file contains part of the license.
