I could also see this being useful for local code repos of open source code. I haven't looked, but it could be a combination of LXR (linux cross reference) project and an ML powered code understanding engine.

Tracing the source of a result is one of the key advantages of code search vs generation.

I think an easy way to read licenses from the snippet view is a good idea.
