From: Yegor Yefremov <yegorslists at googlemail.com>

When used without spdx_lookup the BSD licence cannot be
detected correctly because many Python packages just specify
BSD without the exact version in their metadata. So add a
special message warning the user instead of the licence id.

Bonus: fix typo.
