This line comes from rollup-plugin-terser main README  file [1] which is 
written in markdown.

The copyright is extracted by licencecheck from README.md source:

  MIT © [Bogdan Chadkin](mailto:trysound at yandex.ru)

$ licensecheck -m -r --copyright --deb-fmt --encoding utf-8 README.md 
README.md       UNKNOWN [Bogdan Chadkin](mailto:trysound at yandex.ru)

Weirdly enough, this copyright is extracted only with --deb-fmt option:

$ licensecheck -m -r --copyright --encoding utf-8 README.md 
README.md       GENERATED FILE  *No copyright*

Jonas, what do you think ?

Should I forward this bug to licensecheck ?

All the best
