Bug#836832: libstring-copyright-perl: please parse "copyright (c) 2106..." statement

[Dominique Dumont]

Package: libstring-copyright-perl
Version: 0.003001-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

String::Copyright fails to extract copyright from the following
statement (from Jira::Client::Automated):


This software is copyright (c) 2016 by Polyvore, Inc.

This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.


Note that String::Copyright knows how to parse statements beginning with
"(c) copyright", but fails when they are reversed (i.e. "copyright (c)")

Could you tweak String::Copyright to parse this alternative ?

All the best
