Description

### Description

https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Remastered_Collection/blob/master/License.txt

is a GPL-3.0 license with some extra additional restrictions (as permitted by the license). Scancode doesn't seem to recognize it properly but detects some other licenses. The GPL-1.0-or-later rule seems to be waaaaaay too broad. I have attached the output from scancode.
