Weird behavior in beats go-licence-detector for github.com/pascaldekloe/goe

[ph]

I run into a weird issue when upgrading fleet-server to the latest version of beats in elastic/fleet-server#1270

When the detector complained about not finding the license for the github.com/pascaldekloe/goe
I've added an overrides in fleet-server since the license is compatible (CC0) with our policy.

This is an indirect dependency coming from beats. This dependency is
present in both beats and apm-server. Both of theses project doesn't
have rules or overrides in place to allow it. I've lost time to investigate why
the license detector didn't raise any issue in the beats repository and
I still don't know why.

Looking at both projects go.sum the dependency is defined.
If you run go list -m all you will see it. The output of the command is pipe to
go-licence-detector .

What action do you want us to take with this one @ph?

@cmacknz Anyone in your team seen this or not? I am curious why you don't have any overrides in place for the license?
I don't understand exactly why your repository doesn't have that problem.
