go get go.uber.org/tools/update-license

update-license go_files...

Support more licenses by name (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc), file path, url (http GET)
Support custom owner (not just "Uber Technologies, Inc.")
Support more languages than go (cover go, java, js, py to start, along with LICENSE, LICENSE.txt)
Talk about removing custom logic for header comments (ie @generated, Code generated by), it probably makes more sense just to put the license at the top
Better detection support for existing licenses so they can be removed
Verbose, dry run support
