Description

### Description

from `libbb.h` from BusyBox:

```

},

```

The line:

```
* Permission has been granted to redistribute this code under GPL.
```

apparently caused the `other-permissive_50.RULE` rule to trigger (with a low score) but I think that this isn't correct: it could very well have been licensed under a very different license.
