These files contain only a standard MIT license notice and a reference to the FreeRTOS website in a comment. There is no GPL license text or FreeRTOS exception text present in the file.
The correct detection should be MIT only.

How To Reproduce

Scan the files above with ScanCode Toolkit (latest version).

Observe that both MIT and GPL-2.0-plus WITH freertos-exception-2.0 are detected.

System configuration
