Thanks for confirming my guess. I can recommend to prominently document such dirty workarounds: users choosing a license checking tool due to it seemingly resolving a more "final" result shold know if really they are picking a dirtier tool than e.g. licensecheck. Thanks for your work on this - sorry if I come across as dismissive, that is unintended.
