Hi @nick1989Gr, and thanks for the question!

We rely on GitHub to identify licenses, and anything it can't identify as a single license we show as an "Unknown license". A combined license, assuming both licenses are in the LICENSE file would fail to be identified as a single license and so we would show it as unknown, but our intention behind highlighting any unknown licenses is just to make people read them. We link all licenses in that state directly to the LICENSE file on GitHub so people can read it for themselves and make a decision.
