Description

While https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/main/src/ISC.xml contains the source for the ISC license correctly, the generated json at https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/json/details/ISC.json contains some copyright statements that should not be there. From what I read here they should be in sync. What is needed to bring them back to sync?

Thanks,

Research direction

Compare src/ISC.xml in license-list-XML with json/details/ISC.json in license-list-data, focusing on the copyright statements reported as extra. Then inspect the LicenseListPublisher generation entry point and run its generation workflow; done means the generated ISC JSON matches the XML source without those statements.
