Consider enabling partial matching for licenses #187

Closed costasd closed 4 months ago

Hello,

there are use cases, where partial matching on license name could be beneficial, such as when one would like to match all versions of a license - say BSD or GPL or GPLv3 vs GPLv3+.

Consider adding a way to enable partial matching against licenses, as a non-default option, to ease maintenance of long licenses allow/block lists.

Thanks!
