Description
I noticed in the _vendor directory that you've placed your header on all of the files (even empty ones).
I think you have a over zelious script or something of that nature, and this might cause confusion over the proper licensing for the 3rd party software, like Chardet, where your header implies a different license.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the _vendor directory and the licensing headers on its files, with Chardet as the named example. Confirm how the vendored software licenses are represented and identify what needs clarification so third-party files are not presented as having the SDK's license.
