False positive for Apache 2.0 / MPL 1.1 dual license

[sschuberth]

Using ScanCode 2.0.0rc2, this file triggers a false positive for an Apache 2.0 / MPL 1.1 dual license. As you can see from the boiler plate, the file is licensed under Apache 2.0 only.

The funny thing is that the MPL-1.1 license is listed to start at line 4, i.e. within the Apache 2.0 boiler plate text. But if I remove everything in the file except the Apache 2.0 boiler plate, ScanCode report an accurate match of just Apache 2.0.

@sschuberth If I use the latest from the develop branch I cannot reproduce this. I merged recently quite a few fixes and this likely caught this. I added a test anyway.

The updates from #353 that fixed your issue are likely some of these rules that were refined and detected a dual apache/mpl:

Confirmed that the very latest develop branch (ead7599) fixes the issue, my fork was still at 50eaeec. Thanks!
