Hi Team,

I was wondering, is there a mechanism to detect file content changes in 
FOSSology(when the filenames are same).
For instance, suppose there are three files described below

File1: some source code or a jar
File2: exact copy of File1 with name changed to File2
File1: modified or updated version of File1 ( basically File1 content is 
modified)

When we scan File1 using FOSSology it detected licenseA (we found that licenseA 
is not correct, we changed it to licenseB and updated).
When we scan File2 using FOSSology it detected licenseB ( we think that 
FOSSology is creating a hash of the content of File1 and the value obtained is 
licenseB, when it found the same hash using File2
It has detected the license to be licenseB).
When we scan File1(modified version of File1) FOSSology has detected licenseA.

So, is there a possibility to detect file content change when the file names 
are same, somewhere in UI or in DB.

Thanks,
Praneeth.
