Summary

  • clarify public-facing ScanCode relationship wording across README, NOTICE, CLI help/version, and supporting docs
  • make non-affiliation explicit on key user-facing surfaces while preserving upstream attribution
  • narrow overbroad phrasing in migration, benchmark, architecture, and improvement docs and align xtask version fixtures

Scope and exclusions

  • Included:
    • top-level metadata and documentation wording updates in README, NOTICE, Cargo.toml, and CITATION.cff
    • CLI help/version wording plus targeted regression tests
    • supporting docs and xtask fixture alignment for the updated version banner
  • Explicit exclusions:
    • no scanner or parser behavior changes
    • no expected-output or golden fixture changes

Intentional differences from Python

  • the wording now emphasizes ScanCode-compatible workflows and explicit non-affiliation rather than implying interchangeability or endorsement
  • the copyright-detection doc now describes the engine as a Rust reimplementation of the Python reference pipeline rather than a blanket "complete rewrite"

Follow-up work

  • Created or intentionally deferred:
    • none
