Description

While using ScanCode Toolkit to scan the file rntpc_react-native-splash-screen/README.md, the tool incorrectly identified lines 8-9 as matching the amazon-sl license expression. Upon manual review, this detection appears to be a false positive.

How To Reproduce

Here is the project url https://gitee.com/openharmony-sig/rntpc_react-native-splash-screen.
Review the scan results. The following match is observed:

"reference_matches": [
            {
                "license_expression": "amazon-sl",
                "license_expression_spdx": "LicenseRef-.amazon.com.-AmznSL-1.0",
                "from_file": "rntpc_react-native-splash-screen/README.md",
                "start_line": 8,
                "end_line": 9,
                "matcher": "3-seq",
                "score": 80.0,
                "matched_length": 8,
                "match_coverage": 80.0,
                "rule_relevance": 100,
