Hi dmg,

I did come across ninka in my research, and tried it out, but I couldn't 
really get it to do the right thing for me. :-| And it left loads of 
temporary files all over the place.

Well, it's the B2G tree, but with some bits excluded because they are 
test code and because we aren't shipping them.

Following these instructions up to just before the point where you 
actually run a build command ("build.sh") will get the code for you. 
Beware, it's big.

Running your tool over that would give a first approximation.

But, AIUI, your tool doesn't do the "detecting licenses which are 'the 
same'" and copyright amalgamation bits which my tool now does.
