So, we can apply the following command into the terminal to get all the information about the files to be scanned before the real scan is applied. The results include every information about the file. For example, I applied this command in the root directory of this codebase.

scancode --info -f json-pp cc0-1.0.LICENSE

Result

{
  "scancode_notice": "Generated with ScanCode and provided on an \"AS IS\" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES\nOR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.

}

Well, the task is to store whole of these things into the models.

@pombredanne, Should we include a single JSONField to add the whole of that stuff or should we create another different model?

According to the discussion on official gitter channel we came to the conclusion that we are going to use the different fields for each attribute.
