This test will enter this block for every added line of the patch.

Needs to be /^[ \+]/ and not [\t\+] and probably should just be ^\+

I'd probably have something like
	my $checklicenseline = 1;
	
at the start of sub process

and use something

		if ($realline == $checklicenseline) {
			if ($realfile =~ /\.(?:sh|pl|py)/ && $rawline =~ /\[ \+]\s*\!\#/) {
				$checklicenseline = 2;
			} elsif (etc...) {
			}
		}

\.\.

What about .txt, .json, .cocci, and .awk ?
