:mag: ScanCode detects licenses, copyrights, dependencies by "scanning code" ... to discover and inventory open source and third-party packages used in your code. Sponsored by NLnet project https://nlnet.nl/project/vulnerabilitydatabase, the Google Summer of Code, Azure credits, nexB and others generous sponsors!
There are also some corner cases where a rule with a text of such as:
SPDX license identifier: BSD-3-Clause
... and the scanned text contains this:
SPDX license identifier: BSD-3-Clause-No-Nuclear-Warranty
... we will end up having two matches instead of one:
an exact match to the regular rule SPDX license identifier: BSD-3-Clause
an SPDX license id match to BSD-3-Clause-No-Nuclear-Warranty
We should only get one match that is the second match.

There are some non-standard use of Licence (English spelling is Licence for the noun and License for the verb) https://github.com/BramvanPelt/PPDecryption/blob/6de599af84cb4dc706df6e448c552bd098ea47d7/PP-Decrypt/src/nl/logius/resource/pp/key/PseudonymClosingKey.java#L3
