Hi,

right now the idea is to have RAG per FOSSology server instance, meaning how 
the administrator of an instance wants to set it to.

However, even this might be still inflexible, because "red" licenses or 
obligations are even not a good category for an entire organisation, but maybe 
per case.

Maybe the future for fossology will not be about the RAG for obligations, but 
the use cases for files and RAG for these accordingly. ( a file can be green or 
red, depending on whatever analysis result)

Regarding the colouring in the reporting, I think it is just a matter of "no 
one did it so far". So, one solution could be to write issue and work on it:

Kind regards,
  Michael
