Descrição
A recent scan of `CHANGELOG.md` in package `which-2.0.2.tgz` returned a detection of unknown-license-reference with a score of 80 on the unknown-license-reference_332.RULE which is based on this rule text: `{{License 1.0}}`
The problem is that the actual text in the CHANGELOG.md file, starting at line 135, is this:
```
## v1.0.6
* isc license
## 1.0.5
* Awful typo
```
Since standard license detection behavior is to ignore punctuation, one can see why this would happen, but it is definitely a false positive detection, although I am afraid I do not have (yet) a good suggestion for an approach to fix this problem. Basically the unknown license should not have been detected and reported at all.
