The cavil view should have a cascaded view of dependencies instead of just a flat-view. So instead of just having a flat list of files, I should be able to navigate the tree and have a subview of the licenses in that tree only.

What use cases are you dealing with where this would be necessary?

For example, you have dependencies for unit tests which are never distributed and the linking only happens for the testing part. Eg. LGPL software linked with GPL test framework, but distributed as LGPL. Then it's not easy to filter that noise in the report.

Or you want to concentrate on the app itself to see if it's consistent and don't care about some bundled external buildtime dependency.
