Populated ScanCode wrapper to include copyright and author information.
Currently using FOSSology copyright and author database tables to insert these information.
FOSSology Scheduler is calling ScanCode for copyright and author along with licenses.

Hash is md5(content).
What is clearing table in copyright agent database here?
This code block creates copyright_decision table.
This table is used to store user's decision.
Similarly there are license_decision table which stores user's clearing decision for licenses.
Gaurav explained how copyright agent/user finding works.
Agent findings contain what scanners has found, if a user makes changes in the agents finding that changes will be recorded into copyright_event table.
For the same pfile that agent will give edited result.
User finding table records user_decision during clearing in the UI and that content is inserted into copyright_decision table in the database.
These clearing results are helpful during creating report.
Scancode will also include reporting.

Under Jobs go to Schedule agents, there select an upload to analyse and the agent who will do analysis.
