Your format is wrong. A newline defines a new license, not
a new line. GARMIN Software and devices will sort the different
licenses and remove duplicates before displaying them.

It's done by the Software/Device displaying this.

The default license cannot show the license of your map, the mkgmap
devlopers don't know them.
