is grouped together for a match, even though the MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); at the end should be in a different query for license detection rather than grouped together with the notice above + the lines of code in between.

The grouping together, and the non-license code files make this detection seem like a detection issue, when this is really a chunking/query creation pre-processing issue.
