Correct. Thanks for reporting it! You are right that the cause is embedded references inside the license fulltext, and the proper solution is to map out the whole region covered by one license pattern and then omit scanning that region for other licensing patterns. Implementing that mapping should also speed up the tool a bit. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
