   I was adding comments to the issue thinking I was commenting here, I'll copy them:
   
   > Another question is, what is the impact of copyright vs authorship indication? For example:
   > 
   > ../../arch/arm/src/samd5e5/sam_tc.h- * Copyright 2020 <company>
   > ../../arch/arm/src/samd5e5/sam_tc.h: * Author: <name A> <email>
   > ../../arch/arm/src/samd5e5/sam_tc.h: * Author: <name B> <email>
   > 
   > The copyright sometimes (but not always) indicates a company and the authors may be employees (in this case, maybe <A>, but maybe not <B>) This means that we need a SGA from the company besides ICLAs from authors right? If there's no mention to a company (only author) an ICLA would be enough?
   > 
   > I will parse the copyright also so that we can initially filter these more complex cases.

   And:
   
   > I think we will have a hard time with many files that once existed in submodules. Git is smart enough to know about the file coming from a submodule, but it is not possible to obtain the contents of the file at that revision as it didn't exist in the parent repo.
