Working on a license scanner for git-pkgs, uses the scancode license rule corpus but much, much faster and less resource intensive: github.com/git-pkgs/licenses

My plan is to eventually use it to scan every version of every package with it soon.

Fast exact license matching against ScanCode's rule corpus in pure Go. - git-pkgs/licensesGitHubGitHub - git-pkgs/licenses: Fast exact license matching against ScanCode's rule corpus in pure Go.Fast exact license matching against ScanCode's rule corpus in pure Go. - git-pkgs/licenses

@andrewnez Reporting using the scancode key is not a good idea. This causes confusion among maintainers all the time. Using SPDX ID or LicenseRef-${scancode_key} is much better. The key in scancode is older than existence of LicenseRef and we should suppress it rather than promote.
I'm saying that with my hat on of 4 years of work on licensing in Fedora.
