Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.1.1

I'm reporting this downstream issue [1], for your evaluation:

Description of problem:

$ licensecheck COPYING
COPYING: Expat License GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 3

Perhaps a bit of a pathological case.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
licensecheck-3.1.1-3.fc33.noarch
perl-Regexp-Pattern-License-3.4.0-3.fc33.noarch
