How To Reproduce

mkdir SQLiteCpp

curl -LJO "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SRombauts/SQLiteCpp/master/src/Exception.cpp"

mv Exception.cpp SQLiteCpp/

PROC_ARGS="-n $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l)"
ARGS="-clipe --license-text --license-text-diagnostics --classify --license-clarity-score --summary --summary-key-files --summary-with-details  $PROC_ARGS"

scancode $ARGS --json SQLiteCpp-scan.json SQLiteCpp

jq '.files[].licenses[] | "\(.key):    \(.matched_text)"' SQLiteCpp-scan.json

System configuration

• OS: Ubuntu", "20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa)"

• Scancode version: 21.8.4
