To help defend against potential copyright claims, we should improve the similarity program so that it outputs a summarised set of matching strings, and then search for those in a library of unrelated software. If the strings are present in the unrelated software, then they cannot be the copyright property of the owner of the C64 ROM copyrights. This will reduce the number of false positives from the similarity matcher.

Partially addressing this by allowing common code snippets to be marked as not significant, without reference to external software.
