Description
## Short Description
I tired running the tool on https://github.com/Inria/spoon with the following command:
```sh
scancode --json-pp sbom.json -clpeui .
```
It successfully output a JSON file. It had list of dependencies among many other things, but all the dependencies were direct. It would be nice to have a list of transitve dependencies as well. :)
