Did you begin work on the implementation of this "export license report" feature? Do you need any advice or discussion about it from the team or specific help on implementation details in the UI or the back-end? We are available to help if you want. Do you have an idea of when this might be impleneted? If it's before the end of this year we can work on including it in the next FOSSology release, version 1.2 to be released later this year. Let me know what you think.
