False-positive in OPM_OVERLY_PERMISSIVE_METHOD for equals #468

OPM_OVERLY_PERMISSIVE_METHOD in SpotBugs 3.1.12 just told me I should make equals protected, which of course would be invalid. The class is package-private which triggers the bug I think.

The same false-positive happens with record accessors in Java 21: the plugin asks me to reduce their visibility, even though component accessors are required to be public.
