Idea: Generate a summary of used licenses

[CraigHutchinson]

It would be great if along with finding the licenses there were a short summary which could be easier to review.
This would require finding a way to 'detect' what type of license the project uses. Very much similar to GitHub does, maybe this can be a good source for regex or similar!

Appears GitHub use this: https://github.com/licensee/licensee

Extension

As an extension to this feature could generate a diagram for use in documentation. using DOT and Graphviz maybe etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, that does sound like a very useful addition to the project!
