it runs on trunk to detect problems early. For the release I triggered
it on the related branch. And sure we can automate this further.

But I believe having it and running it regularly on trunk is enough. All
committers should think about a correct license header if they create
new files or should check all license relevant issues if they plan to
use a new external library.
