Why would the value of the license property be "copyright" ?
Licenses
and copyright are different issues.
My guess: some code has not attached license, just a copyright
statement
(and maybe also "all rights reserved"). How should such sw be
classified?
Some packages deliver a copyright file and a license file. While it
may not seem completely logical, copyright files are currently
delivered using a license action.
