### Description
`LICENSES_MAPPING` in `src/packagedcode/rubygems.py` defines `'LGPL'` twice, on two consecutive lines (679-680):
```python
'LGPL': 'lgpl',
'LGPL': 'lgpl-2.0-plus',
```
Both are entries of the same dict literal, so the first is discarded and every gem declaring a bare `LGPL` resolves to `lgpl-2.0-plus`.
That is worth a second look on its own: an unversioned `LGPL` declaration does not state a version, and `lgpl-2.0-plus` asserts one. The generic `'LGPL': 'lgpl'` line immediately above looks like the mapping intended for the unversioned case, and the table already has separate explicit entries for the versioned spellings. Either way, which one applies is currently decided by line order rather than intent, and the unreachable line is misleading to read.
### How To Reproduce
```python
import ast, collections
src = open('src/packagedcode/rubygems.py').read()
for node in ast.walk(ast.parse(src)):
if isinstance(node, ast.Dict):
counts = collections.Counter(
k.value for k in node.keys
if isinstance(k, ast.Constant) and isinstance(k.value, str)
)
for key, n in counts.items():
if n > 1:
print(f'line {node.lineno}: duplicate key {key!r} x{n}')
```
```
line 658: duplicate key 'LGPL' x2
```
And the effective value:
```python
>>> from packagedcode.rubygems import LICENSES_MAPPING
>>> LICENSES_MAPPING['LGPL']
'lgpl-2.0-plus'
```
The `'lgpl'` entry is unreachable.
### Suggested fix
Remove one of the two lines. I have opened a PR that drops the unreachable one and keeps the current result, so nothing changes at runtime. If a bare `LGPL` should instead stay unversioned as `lgpl`, that is a one-word change on top and I am happy to make it.
