       suspicious-source  - search for files that do not meet the GPL's definition of "source" for a
       work


## SYNOPSIS
       **suspicious-source** [_options_]


## DESCRIPTION
       **suspicious-source** outputs a list of files which are probably not the source form of  a  work.

       inition from the GNU GPL, the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it".

       The files inside version control system directories (like _.bzr/_ or _CVS/_) are not considered.

              Show this help message and exit.

### -v --verbose
              Print more information.

### -d --directory=
              Check the files in the specified _directory_ instead of the current directory.

### -m --mimetype=
              Add _mimetype_ to list of white-listed MIME types.
