Hi Praveen,
Quoting Pirate Praveen (2017-08-04 11:25:20)
> Currently you have to manually give LICENSE as an option even if you give *.
Yes, that is deliberate: In most if not all cases such file is not
protected by copyright and therefore no license grant apply.
I do understand that such files (obviously) is highly likely to contain
descriptions of copyright and licensing of _other_ files, but such
descriptions are rarely expressed in a form reliably resolvable by the
licensecheck tool.
If you find that the information resolved by licensecheck of such
files are of use for you, then you are welcome to include them by use of
the --ignore option.
Since this is not a bug but a feature, I hereby close this bugreport.
Closing it still aloows for posting further comments to the bugreport,
but reflects that (without substantial convincing) I do not expect to
change my opinion on this specific issue.
Thanks a lot for reporting,
- Jonas
