As the matched_text contains 2 lines and the second line have license detected alright, it may make sense if the matched_text only contains the first line: The ‘libunistring’ library and its header files are dual-licensed and return unknown-license-reference. However, as it also includes the second line under "the GNU LGPLv3+ or the GNU GPLv2+". The tool should be able to tell this 2 lines are detected alright and not to return unknown-license-reference`
