The PSF-2 license is detected as the GPL.

For example:

https://salsa.debian.org/cryptocoin-team/electrum/-/blob/master/electrum/_vendor/distutils/LICENSE?ref_type=heads

This file contains a number of related licenses, but none of them are the the GPL.

There are two bugs here:

a) licensecheck fails to detect license fulltext PSF-2
b) licensecheck misdetects "released under the GPL" as a license grant

Of those, I consider a) to be important, and b) to be only minor.

I have rephrased the bugreport to track only a) (and also corrected a typo
in the license shortname PSF-2).

Thanks for reporting,
