For some reason, licenserecon doesn't detect the BSD license for the files in

vendor subfolder. The only license listed in debian/copyright is GPL-3+.

Hi Soren,
thanks for reporting this problem.
The reason licenserecon doesn't detect the BSD licenses,
is that licensecheck lists the files as 'UNKNOWN'.
However, it does detect the licence in the file LICENSE,
but licenserecon excludes that file.
On reflection, excluding files named 'license' was over cautious,
and I've removed 'license' from the exclusion list.
This fixes the problem to the extent that baby no longer
gives a completely false negative result.
e.g.

Running licensecheck ....
d/copyright | licensecheck
GPL-3+ | BSD-3-clause vendor/golang.org/x/sys/LICENSE

Peter
