Hello Arto,

The upstream author has defined the preferred license as GPLv3+, even
though the file content includes the strings "license" and "ISC", which
the tool interprets as having a meaning that it does not have (it is not
the license of the file, it is the license of the typescript package
being described, which does not exist and isn't meant to exist as the
file is a test fixture of an application licensed under the GPL).

And who is the author of the two files? The upstream author cannot ignore the 
license of that two files, esp. if s(he)
isn't the author of the two files.

Only the author(s) of the two files can decide what the meaning is not a 
maintainer or anyone else.

The author of those two files is João Távora, see:
https://github.com/joaotavora/rassumfrassum/blame/455fd84a9be7537edee6d5ceca79c08e6f1ed360/test/ts-preset/fixture/package.json

They have specified that the license of those files is the GPL, version
3 or later, which you want us to override to be something else
instead.

In the interests of moving things forward in a constructive way, I have
uploaded a new version of the package with the requested changes.

Someone else already filed an RC bug against licenserecon (#1129997)
where the copyright file has the same issue (except much worse than
here). The handling of that bug can then instruct us on what the correct
solution is for this package.
