Description

> One price for finance, one price for cybersecurity, one price for copywriting.

In this sentence the writer really is referring to "writing copy". I'm not sure if there's enough clues in the sentence for the linter to be able to detect that it's legit though...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the quoted sentence and identifying the Copyright linter rule that flags “copywriting.” Inspect how that rule distinguishes legitimate uses from actual copyright references; done means the example is no longer flagged without suppressing valid Copyright warnings.
