Bug#1081421: licensecheck: GPL3 licenses misdetected as GPL (without version number)

[Peter B]

Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.3.9-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: peter at pblackman.plus.com

Dear Maintainer,

In package audacious-plugins, the src/skins directory,
many GPL3 licensed files are detected as just GPL.

For example, file plugin.h has header,

  * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
  * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
  * the Free Software Foundation; under version 3 of the License.


Clearly version 3 of the license is intended,
but licensecheck detects just as unversioned GPL.


Regards,
PB
