Incomplete copyright detection for regular name #4941

Description

@stefan6419846

Description

Seemingly regular copyright holders are not detected correctly.

How To Reproduce

  • wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arthurdejong/python-stdnum/52d316200c347b4f3d2b61a77ce746f3d28a3815/stdnum/eu/ecnumber.py
  • scancode --copyright --json-pp out ecnumber.py

We get

    {
      "path": "ecnumber.py",
      "type": "file",
      "copyrights": [
        {
          "copyright": "Copyright (c) 2023 Daniel",
          "start_line": 3,
          "end_line": 3
        }
      ],
      "holders": [
        {
          "holder": "Daniel",
          "start_line": 3,
          "end_line": 3
        }
      ],
      "authors": [],
      "scan_errors": []
    }

instead of the full Copyright (c) 2023 Daniel Weber.
