We already have a lot of similar tools for this, unfortunately the most accurate ones (FOSSology & ScanCode) aren't available in Debian right now, although folks are working on that. FOSSology has an ITP & RFS and a GSoC student apparently worked on or is working on ScanCode packaging. ScanCode doesn't yet support the Debian copyright output format but FOSSology does. https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReviewTools https://lwn.net/Articles/803725/ https://osr.cs.fau.de/2019/08/07/final-thesis-a-comparison-study-of-open-source-license-crawler/ https://bugs.debian.org/924659 https://bugs.debian.org/926915 https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/issues/469 https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/issues/472 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
