Description
Reviewing a non-public set of `dbus-1.12.12` files, I see that SCTK has identified a number of files containing a `gpl-2.0-plus` notice (as well as `afl-2.1`) as `gpl-3.0-plus` score=96.61. (`afl-2.1` is correctly identified.) A publicly-available example is
```
dbus-1.12.12.tar.gz/dbus-1.12.12.tar/dbus-1.12.12/bus/audit.c
```
which can be retrieved here: https://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.12.12.tar.gz
