Hi Larry, My intention with this message was just getting a feeling for the interest in the contribution of such an improvement.
The problem that we see is that the signatures don't cover the whole licenses (in case of long licenses even less that 10% of the text). That's why we say, that Nomos gives only "hints to licenses". If Nomos findings are accepted without review, then an assumption is being taken: the whole license text is there although only a part of it has been found. This assumption will be true in most of the cases, but now always. Since we want to automate the posterior processing of the findings, we require more security on the presence of a reported license. We wouldn't like to misuse the current Nomos implementation exploding signatures for full license matching because of performance reasons. We are creating a new agent for this task. I planned to give a draft of the implementation we are already working on in the "developers" list. Is it right for you?

Certainly if the signature is one license's whole text, that is almost impossible to match any licenses in the scanning files.
