I'm on mac using arm64, and I modified the dockerfile slightly, to get past some other errors like : missing libicu-dev, pkg-config and python3-distutils. I also messed around with changing the python version as well as the scancode version...

The method of dumping the licenses does not seem to work? I've tried almost everything and I am out of ideas. Please save me!

Where in code?
In ORT's source code, the Dockerfile contains information on the build, in the Dockerfile (under the Python section):
Scancode extract license ...
