Bob, yes, this is exactly what would be most useful. I think it is very important to understand why a license was detected esp. for deciding on false positives. Certainly the signature match is the interesting information there. My plan: In combination with the tags feature to mark false positives or give approval to special file/license pair... it can be used to manage the findings more properly.
So of course from my perspective this is quite important compared to most other items ;-) Does nomos store the match information in the DB already? Could we "just" use some query in the php to display it?

Rather than doing pattern matching on entire licenses, nomos just looks for signatures (regular expressions in context). So it isn't possible to highlight the whole license (nomos doesn't know it). Personally, I would like nomos to at least highlight where it found the signature match. That would at lead your eyes to where the license was found, just not highlight the whole license. What do you think? How important is this to you compared to the other items in http://fossology.org/task_list#everything_else ?

Is it due to the switch to nomos? Is it possible to "reactivate" this feature? Would be really interesting to find out on which strings the license was found. Volker <ATT00001..txt>
