I thought I'd try to cut down on some of the "noise" created by
checklicenses.py and creating exceptions for files that obviously don't
need a license header (COPYING/AUTHORS files in plugins for example).  I
thought it would simply be a matter of running the script, seeing the
output, and then tweaking to add the necessary exceptions.
However, I can't seem to run this on Windows.  Is it possible to run on
Windows? (quick googling appears to say no).  I have a lubuntu setup,
but my skills are weak there.  I made a few attempts with sudo apt-get,
but that also didn't seem to be able to get the script to work.

Any suggestions?

It works on (l)ubuntu. Try:

  sudo apt-get install devscripts
