Hi Kotrappa,

It is very common for people to use ‘(c)’ in a copyright statement, so that’s 
why fossology flags this as a possible copyright.  Of course, in this case it 
is a false positive.  Fossology tends to error on the side of reporting 
possible copyrights (and licenses) rather than risk missing them.

This is a fossology issue, not spdx.

Thanks,
Bob Gobeille
