Hi

Thanks for looking into this.

Personally I am considering if this should be moved into its own check.
 While it is related to the copyright-file check I think a DEP-5 check
could easily deserve its own check file.
  Particularly it may keep the logic simple(r) and the DEP-5 check will
most likely be extended in the future (e.g. to check the other paragraphs).
