GPL-3.0-or-later licenses wrongly reported as GPL-3.0-only about onefetch HOT 4 OPEN

It's an upstream issue jpeddicord/askalono#45 (comment)

As a quick workaround, I see two options:

• As suggested in #769, get the license value from the package manifest first (only works for Cargo.toml or pakage.json) -> already implemented
• In doubt (presence of aliases) show both licenses to the user, smth like License: GPL-3.0-or-later | GPL-3.0-only

from onefetch.

So the "or later" is really only known by comments in the source code, and the docs referencing "1.3 or any later version", right?

Have there been any projects that mix "only" and "later"?

For reference, it seems like the library used by github for license detection has the same issue licensee/licensee#406 and their solution matches @streaksu's suggestion

from onefetch.

Perhaps Askolono can also report simplified names (e.g. gpl-3.0-* -> GPL 3.0) as an additional field if it doesn't already? And then we could use those.
