License Terms are used to "fine tune" the results of an identified license. For instance, if a GPL v2 license is identified as GPL with unknown version, the section of identified license text will be compared against License Terms to pinpoint the exact license (GPL v2). >From what you've described, the license cannot be identified (because there is >no template). Therefore, there is no license text to compare against the >License Terms.

I am using the "Manage License Terms" page through the UI to do this but am having some difficulty. I created a new Canonical name called "Company Name" and created a new term that was specific to that group. The term was the following: "Copyright Company Name". I then did an Upload from a URL which contained a license file that contained that term. However, the result was it did not find the license. What's strange is when I add the term "proprietary" to the group, it recognizes it, but any other phrase, it does not recognize. Should I be using the UI to identify a new license or should I follow the instructions on the page "How to Add a License Template or License Phrase and Re-Analyze Licenses" in the documenation to do this? The documentation says it requires re-running the build and modifying the database. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
