`TripleCheck Quantum` scans copied code and license traces

A CLI fingerprints code against a 630TB archive of open-source and web snippets. Strong niche for compliance-heavy projects, but privacy limits make hosted scanning risky.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Stack Overflow snippet detection only supports Java; broader repository matching covers mainstream languages across GitHub, SourceForge, Google Code, and similar sources.
  2. More than 300 open-source licenses are detected, turning provenance checks into a sellable pre-release compliance workflow.
  3. Only fingerprints are sent and not retained after scanning, but network exposure remains. Sensitive code needs the offline edition.
