I find the most time consuming task in the review process is the license

detection, given the sheer number of licenses out there, although if we
could consolidate all of the methods reviewers use for this we would
have a nifty tool indeed.
Not sure if this is something which should be part of this package or
another entirely?
fyi, rpmdevtools rpm includes a handy 'licensecheck' tool.

That is indeed handy.
What are the limitations of this tool? Are there reasons that prohibit
it being listed as a tool in [1]? If not I'd be happy to update the wiki.
