>    Affects Versions: 0.16.1

> Currently the system has a hard coded list of "NOTICE" files.  We don't do 
> anything with them other than not scan them and report that they exist.
> I would like to see this changed so that we define capture rules (like 
> licenses and probably using the same matcher patterns) and then require 
> verify that configuration defined files contain the specific capture.
> For example a capture to collect all copyrights across all scanned files.  
> Could then be used to verify that the file named "NOTICE" contains all the 
> captured copyrights.
> This will be a large extension to the current system.  I think that a 
> "capture" document analyser will need to be written and added to the document 
> processing stream.
