Description
### Description
It looks like Scancode fails to recognize a copyright statement if the year as well as the `(c)`, or `Copyright` is not included in the declaration.
Examples of declaration not found by scancode:
```
Copyright The OpenTelemetry Authors
```
```
(c) The OpenTelementry Authors
```
### How To Reproduce
1. Download either:
- https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-contrib/blob/main/version.go
- https://github.com/containerd/errdefs/blob/main/errors.go
2. Then run to scan:
```
./scancode --json-pp - -c version.go
```
or
```
./scancode --json-pp - -c errors.go
```
And no copyrights are detected in these files.
