It does not; this is probably a bug in the script. The script uses very
simple regexes and has a real problem with licenses that have variations,
usually by merging them all together into one license that is then
overcounted.
The rules for SIL OFL licenses are just:
[qr,SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1\.1, => 'SIL OFL 1.1'],
[qr,SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1\.0, => 'SIL OFL 1.0'],
which I suspect is combining OFL-1.1-no-RFN and OFL-1.1-RFN and thus
overcounting the number of packages that could use a common license.
The Creative Commons licenses may have the same problem still, since I
know they also tend to have variations, although I did try to limit
CC0-1.0 to just the universal version when detecting it based on the
license text rather than a copyright-format file.
