Hi Art,

According to the man page of licensecheck:
       licensecheck attempts to determine the license that applies to each
file passed to it, by searching the start of
       the file for text belonging to various licenses.

I'm assuming that means it will not pick up proprietary licenses etc. Also.
the script is a perl script, so you can just gedit /usr/bin/licensecheck to
find more info.

Hope that helps,

//Oscar
