It's not perfect judging from the bug reports, but it seems pretty nice. It is the only option I found which is intended for scripted usage (has a nice cli interface). I'll package it tomorrow. Interesting would be to write a plugin for guix to see how it's findings compare to the licenses declared in guixsd. [0] https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/scancode/cli.py#L204
