You're right. I made a mistake, Sorry about that. The extra '?' must be 
removed.

The idea is to avoid assigning Artistic license to a file containing a string 
like "I do not want the artistic license v2.0".

The rules is supposed to match when either:
- a license grant is found. i.e something like "this is free software, 
 licensed under the artistic license v2.0"
- the text *begins* with "The Artistic license v2.0" which is (hopefully) the 
 actual artistic license v2.0 text.

I'll fix the regexp to follow these rules.

Thanks for the heads-up.

All the best
