it looks like partial words match (not a word-wise comparison), which disproportionately favors the GPL and other long licenses (with a lot of words). For instance, this is what it did with words "STEAM VR" and the GPL 3:
Didn't look at your code so I don't know your distance metric, but it might be useful to try some word-based comparison.
