Well, until I'm confident that fossology is thorough and accurate
enough, I don't want to jump to conclusions.
I've played with it some and been fairly impressed; it is inevitably
imperfect (like any software) but so are human reviewers. That said,
it might just be too much work to implement- it did not strike me as
easy to setup or install, and if there aren't already
automated/tool-assisted steps in the review process (I don't know) it
might be a pain to integrate into the workflow.
I know lack of reviewers is already a serious bottleneck in the
process; would having a separate cadre of license reviewers mean more
delays?
