License detection detects incorrect license, can't be changed after that

Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.

Summary

When committing a LICENSE and a LICENSE-3RD-PARTY.md file together in the same commit, GitLab detects one of the licenses from LICENSE-3RD-PARTY.md as project license and displays it as such. Even after deleting the LICENSE-3RD-PARTY.md, the detected license stays intact.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new repository
  2. Create the files listed below with the content listed below, add them and commit them in the same commit (works both locally and with the Web IDE)
  3. (Optional): Delete LICENSE-3RD-PARTY.md again and commit the change in a new commit
