I worry about using these boost-no-inspect files to prevent scans for whole folders. I think the files themselves are distracting, but moreover, I think it shouldn't be necessary to ignore whole folders.
boost/status has a boost-no-inspect file, for example, but I think it should not. boost_check_library.py should have a license notice, and likewise the xml and xsd files in that folder. I am not a lawyer, but in my understanding everything in Boost which is not automatically generated by another program is by definition "source code", which then needs a license notice.
I think the boost-no-inspect files should not be needed, because the directory structure of Boost is very uniform in all projects and this is enforced. It should be predictable for the inspect tool which directories need to be scanned. I think the inspect tool has a good rule set for this, but it should definitely also ignore also what's in .gitignore, see my other issue.
