I did look a bit for licensecheck and it appears to be a Perl script available

before trying to open it as a subprocess.
Playing the fun game called "find the upstream" found
http://search.cpan.org/~jonass/App-Licensecheck-v3.0.2/bin/licensecheck
but that version appears to credit Jonas Smedegaard as one of the developers,
while the version from Debian Jessie doesn't, so that doesn't appear to be the
upstream version from Jessie. I don't know whether Smedegaard and the Debian
folk both started with the same earlier version but didn't end up there.
Should we just grab some version that works and include it in the tools
directory, so that we don't get mysterious failures when updating the version
of Ubuntu on the buildbot and don't fail - or require somebody to dig up or
install via CPAN - on systems that don't distribute it?
No... too many CPAN dependencies.
