The MPL-2.0 contains the following paragraph:
1.12. "Secondary License"
means either the GNU General Public License, Version 2.0, the GNU
Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1, the GNU Affero General
Public License, Version 3.0, or any later versions of those
licenses.
This, of course, matches "m/GNU General Public License/i or m/\bGPL\b/"
and gets the copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl tag,
even when the copyright never ever mentiones the GPL directly.
Let's add the "means either..." phrase to the list of known false-positives.
