Description

The long LICENSE that comes with the MySQl JAR is generally over attributing BUT we still should detect it correctly. Same for their README
![Untitled](https://github.com/nexB/scancode.io/assets/675997/00a52ee6-e6c3-401d-aa7b-0dca7f9e47e4)

See:
- https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/archive/refs/tags/8.0.29.tar.gz
- https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/8.0.29/mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.jar
- https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/8.0.29/mysql-connector-java-8.0.29-sources.jar
- https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/8.0.29/mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.pom

These would need to be reviewed and refined significantly.
