We not tagging key files correctly in cases where they are not present at the root, and so in these cases we are not calculating the summary and license clarity score correctly.
Consider the following example package:
https://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/oss/src/apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src.rpm
If we scan this package after extracting with:
scancode -clpieu --license-text --license-diagnostics --license-text-diagnostics --license-references apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src/ --classify --summary --json-pp apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src.json -n 8
We have the following scan result:
apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src.json
Where the summary license clarity score is not correct:
"summary": {
"declared_license_expression": "apache-2.0",
"license_clarity_score": {
"score": 0,
"declared_license": false,
"identification_precision": false,
"has_license_text": false,
"declared_copyrights": false,
"conflicting_license_categories": true,
"ambiguous_compound_licensing": true
},
"declared_holder": "",
"primary_language": "Java",
and the NOTICE.txt is not detected as a key file:
{
"path": "apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src/commons-lang-2.6-src/NOTICE.txt",

"is_legal": true,
"is_manifest": false,
"is_readme": false,
"is_top_level": false,

But when we scan the commons-lang-2.6-12.26 archive inside with:
scancode -clpieu --license-text --license-diagnostics --license-text-diagnostics --license-references apache-commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src/commons-lang-2.6-src/ --classify --summary --json-pp commons-lang-2.6-12.26.src.json -n 8
we do get a correct summary:
"summary": {
"declared_license_expression": "apache-2.0",
"license_clarity_score": {
"score": 100,
"declared_license": true,
"identification_precision": true,

We should make sure we detect and tag key files present in other places correctly by implementing get_key_files() functions for all package ecosystems and tag these for all packages present inside a package, so we don't miss these.
