Fix #4576: Add BSD license detection rule for JLine XML comments

[NullPointer-cell]

Fixes #4576

Problem

ScanCode failed to detect BSD-3-Clause license in JLine packages (jline-console, jline-style, jline-reader) because the license is declared in XML comments rather than standard Maven <licenses> tags.

Solution

Added detection rule bsd-new_jline_xml.RULE to recognize the specific BSD license notice pattern found in JLine project POM files.

Testing

✅ Verified detection on jline-console-3.30.4-sources.jar

• License detected: BSD-3-Clause
• Match coverage: 89.47%
• Rule used: bsd-new_jline_xml.RULE
  The same pattern appears in jline-style and jline-reader, so this rule covers all three packages.

Changes

• Added: src/licensedcode/data/rules/bsd-new_jline_xml.RULE

---

✅ Verification Complete - BSD License Detection Working

I've verified the fix works correctly with the actual JLine package from Maven Central.

Test Results

Package tested: jline-console-3.30.4-sources.jar from Maven Central

Before fix:

• License: Not detected
• Reason: BSD license in XML comments not recognized

After fix:

• ✅ License detected: bsd-new (BSD-3-Clause)
• ✅ Rule used: bsd-new_jline_xml.RULE
• ✅ Match coverage: 89.47%
• ✅ Detection location: META-INF/maven/org.jline/jline-console/pom.xml

Evidence

The POM file contains:

<!--
  Copyright (c) 2002-2020, the original author or authors.
  This software is distributable under the BSD license.
  https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause
-->

ScanCode now correctly detects this as BSD-3-Clause using the custom rule.

The BSD license detection fix is working as intended and ready for merge. ✅ETA-INF/maven/org.jline/jline-console/pom.xml

i hace done the fixing

The original issue (BSD license not detected in JLine packages) is now resolved. The test_ignorables_in_rule_or_license_bsd_new_jline_xml validation test is passing.

The current CI failure in 3.14 - misc_and_scancode is unrelated to this PR:

• Error: ValueError: signal only works in main thread in test_interrupt.py
• This is a Python 3.14 compatibility issue in the test framework
• My changes only added one license rule file

The BSD license detection for JLine packages is working as required and is ready for review..
