Indeed. I have a similar case with #1000179 where licensecheck does not get copyright assignment from a LICENSE file: $ licensecheck --copyright LICENSE LICENSE: *No copyright* Apache License 2.0 But it gets the copyright with --lines option: $ licensecheck --copyright LICENSE -l 0 LICENSE: Apache License 2.0 [Copyright: patent, trademark, and / license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, / License. Subject to the terms and conditions of / 2017 Sourced Technologies S.L.] Would it be possible to use --lines 0 with files containing a lot of capital letters (like LICENSE.* README*) and so on... These files tend to be relatively short compared to other source files. HTH
