You can't. Nomos does not use templates but short text strings
from licenses. See http://www.fossology.org/nomos for further
information.

What could be done with nomos is similar approach as is used
with copyright agent. With copyright agent you can view the
identified text string location in the file. In rare cases that kind of
feature would have helped when it has been unclear why nomos
claimed the file to have f.ex. GPL license. (GPL reference text
has been in the middle or end of the file). But that would not tell
how the text in file differs from the reference license text.

My experience is that nomos is working very well. Old bsam results
are left in database so if you have doubt you can make comparison
with bsam results and nomos results.

Best regards
Raino
