Hi,

from what I saw, licensecheck is just a big collection of regular expressions
and a loop that checks them and outputs tags for each matching regular
expression.

Thus the perl code could be shortened a lot, if those regular expressions and
the tags that they should produce would be split in a separate (two column?)
text file.

In the end, one could easily write licensecheck libraries in other languages
(python?) to run licensecheck more easily as part of other applications.

Regards, Thomas Koch
