The goal of this project is to take existing scan results and infer summaries and perform some deduction of license and origin at a higher level, such as the licensing or origin of a whole directory tree. The ultimate goal is to automate the conclusion of a license and origin based on scans. This could include using statistics and machine learning techniques such as classifiers where relevant and efficient.

This should be implemented as a set of ScanCode plugins and further the summarycode module plugins.
