License Header Request is *not* open source friendly

[revans2]

I am fine if we have a requirement to include a Copyright for any submission. But it makes the assumption that all work submitted must have an NVIDIA copyright on it.

spark-rapids-common/license-header-check/action.yml

Line 37 in 03b010f

LICENSE_PATTERN="Copyright \(c\) .*?${CURRENT_YEAR},? NVIDIA CORPORATION."

If we are truly an open source project we will get contributions from other individuals and companies. We cannot enforce that they include an NVIDIA copyright in their files or in patches that they contribute. We either need to make this generic enough that it can work for anyone or we need to run it only for github accounts that are marked as NVIDIA employees.

Currently we have include and exclude config options, its hard for us to detect NVIDIANs in github side, this would required the automation account to have org-level admin access which I don't think the admins would grant us.

Do you have any suggestion how we could improve the process? thanks
