Do those tools do the following?
 if (contains(file->pathname, "linux")) {
 	file->license = "GPLv2";
	break;
 }

I ask because I've seen a lot of two-, or even one-liners in the linux
tree. uboot is even crazier, with one-liners and a three-letter
designation for the license.

'licensecheck' correctly identifies and versions GPL with just the first
paragraph.

I might be partially guilty for that.
