When I tested the application, I used the text from the SPDX license list pages themselves which match.
You are finding valid issues in comparing them to the canonical versions of the license text. I feel we need another tool to compare text to a specific SPDX license and indicate exactly where the 2 licenses do not match. That way we can easily find where the template needs to be improved or if there is any bugs in the matching algorithm. This will take a bit of work – I’ll add it to the tools issues list.
