Maybe the above came across as needlessly agressive.

Thanks for reporting this.  Reporting it is appreciated on its own - you 
need not "defend" this issue.

I agree that it would be nice if licensecheck could recognize copyright 
and licensing information in all the many forms they are hinted - 
including project-wide hints.

What I meant to ask is if you have some ideas how licensecheck could 
sensibly report such non-file-specific hints?
