Thanks (and sorry for several years of silence!).
I dislike adding more options for same functionality, and I dislike that
the option --ignore is a regex. Instead, I consider adding new option
"--usage" to change behaviour and defaults of other options, treating
current behaviours as --usage=legacy. See bug#960695 for details.
This is current "licensecheck --help":
-i STR --ignore STR regular expression of files to skip
(default value: some backup and VCS files)
How do you think about this future "licensecheck --help":
-i STR --ignore STR files to skip;
with usage=legacy a regular expression
replacing previous or default value,
with any other usage a comma-separated list
adding onto previous and default values
except an empty value which clears the list
(default value: some backup and VCS files)
