Dependency scanner for pub can't load Copyright Text
Describe the bug
I'm using dependency_scanner for my flutter project. I 'm generate oss license file like below
When i run fosslight_dependency_scanner, this software generate file without copyright text. I don't know why because my dart file have license text. Is there any other reason?
I found it . This code is written like below.

Any plans to support this feature?
@namkyu1999 Thanks for the reporting it!
The output file of flutter dependency scanning ('oss_licenses.dart') has the element of license and it contains the license text. It means that the license could not include copyright text. (Because license text could contain the copyright text or not.)
Also it needs to detect the copyright text in license. We used the 'nomos standalone binary' for detecting license name with license. If you know the tools that detect the copyright text, please let me know. Then we will support it.
How about using scancode-toolkit? Your team already used this package in 'fosslight_source_scanner'.
In fact, scancode-toolkit is a bit heavy for fosslight_dependency_scanner to use. But it would be nice if the tools could be unified and the copyright could also be detected. We will consider to replace it.

scancode-toolkit maintainer here. Tell me if I can help.

It has a few dependencies but it has quite decent license and copyright detection support, IMHO ;)
@pombredanne We are still on the fence whether this function will be performed in the dependency scanner or in the upper scanner. I think it will take some time. I'll tell you if I need help later.
