Hi,

I am the current author of licensecheck - cool that you use it here in your LicenseCheckBear :-)

Please note that licensecheck is no longer part of the Debian-specific devscripts project but an independent CPAN project https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Licensecheck.

There is now a --machine option for more reliable parsing, and I am open for suggestions to improve further the use of licensecheck from within other programs.

Also, in your work on a native parser, you might be interested in my efforts to isolate regexes for copyright and license detection - in separate project https://metacpan.org/pod/Regexp::Pattern::License.
