Hello Fabian The problem comes from licensecheck which fails to detect the dual copyright and licenses:
$ licensecheck -l 1000 --copyright fvimportbdf.c fvimportbdf.c: BSD (3 clause) [Copyright: 2000-2012 George Williams] That said, the situation is not so clear cut: - fvimportbdf.c "main" license and (c) owner are correctly reported by licensecheck, - the license of the "embedded" part of this file is not complete: it does not give any right of usage. It looks like a MIT [1] where the first paragraph was removed. One may wonder if the MIT license still applies or if George Williams has relicensed the embedded parts... - licensecheck fails to detect the second copyright because of [2] cme provides several ways to work around licensecheck limitations (see [3]). but it may not be practical when too many files are not scanned correctly. I currently don't know how to reconcile fvimportbdf.c case with the problem shown in [2]. I'll have to think about this...
