Describe the Update

There are two cases when calculating score,

1. If score == match_coverage * rule_Relevance, then there are no
   extra words in that license match.
2. If score != match_coverage * rule_Relevance,
   then there are extra words in that match. (all the words in the rule are present, but there are more words)

In the second case, the score is decreased based on how much extra words is there, and presently
this isn't returned.
