RTF file with GPL-2.0-or-later recognized as GPL-3.0-or-later

[armijnhemel]

ScanCode version 3.0.2.post866.8b64c93a7

recognizes https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/fio/+/refs/heads/marshmallow-release/os/windows/eula.rtf as GPL-3-or-later

(easiest to download as https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/fio/+archive/refs/heads/marshmallow-release/os/windows.tar.gz )

Probably this is because the RTF is partially binary content.
