Thank you for the library, I really appreciate its flexibility!

About this issue

For some libraries, the BSD license is presented with some code (<<var;name=copyright) instead of simple placeholders or proper values; please check the attached image.

The values you see are the result of the license including these placeholders when retrieving from SPDX, as you can see here: https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.txt

Which is same as the BSD-3 license text as linked here:

The plugin won't insert placeholders, as that's challenging to get correct.

For this case I fear it is working as intended.
