[C] The Regents of the University of Michigan and Merit Network, Inc. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 All Rights Reserved is rare and not detected because [C] is not a valid copyright "sign"
We have a few other cases in https://github.com/search?q="Copyright+[C]"&type=code
The only sane resolution I can think of is to normalize these warts in text preparation:
- replace
[C] The Regents of the University by (C) The Regents of the University
- replace
Copyright [c] by Copyright (c) in all character cases.
[C] cannot be/is not a valid sign and this would otherwise trigger a badzillion of false positives as seen in https://github.com/search?q="[C]"&type=code (actually only millions, not badzillions)
