Nomos signatures (STRINGS.in) are phrases. Unfortunately, as you know, it does require you to recompile. > We added few new regexps to our version of nomos to catch proprietary code, > but I'd need to clean it up before it could be contributed - there are too > many false positives still. Feel free to file a bug/enhancement if you want to describe what phrases you want to catch. Make sure you attach sample files. What we do to test new license signatures is first run a baseline nomos from the command line on the 100MB RedHat.tar.gz in http://fossology.org/testing/testFiles/ Then add the license/phrase, rerun, then compare results.
