…enses are matched against allowedLicenses The default behavior is that a dependency is fine when any of its licenses are found inside allowedLicenses. This may miss dependencies, which contain multiple licenses. When 'AllRequiredLicenseChecker' is set, it will only approve a dependency when all of its discovered licenses are found in the allowedLicenses. This may report false-positives for dependencies which are dual-licensed. But in general I think a false-positive is better than missing a license violation. This fixes jk1#285
