Yes, the polygraph [1] package I am trying to get accepted to Debian.

But apparently licensecheck does some preprocessing on the input because the current regex successfully matches the official boilerplate. This may not be the most relevant problem, but we have at least one example when it would help. And since fixing the issue is easy, I believe it should be done.
