In German law, the author and the copyright holder can be two seperate legal entities and therefore also need to be treated separately. Introduce a new copyright holder field that is now the primary source for copyright holder information. Authors are still only used as copyright holders if the `addAuthorsToCopyrights` option is enabled. For now, all package manager implementations set empty copyright holders. Filling the copyright holder field is left as an exercise for future actions. Right now, the only way to add copyright holders is via curations. This change resolves oss-review-toolkit#4519.

This change refines the capability to determine the source of a copyright statement in the reporter stage. The fact that the German copyright laws separate between an author and a copyright holder influence the decision on wether a copyright statement is emitted in the final result or if it is suppressed due to its source This change introduces three different sources for a copyright statement: - Determined by the scanner - Provided by curation - Synthesized from the author Signed-off-by: Rainer Bieniek <[email protected]>
The reporters added in this change generate formats used within the Volkswagen group for submission to the law firms for FOSS compliance evaluation. There are two report formats in use: - An Excel-based format which is the current standard format. - A JSON-based formats which will eventually become the standard format.

The Volkswagen group is using two additional report formats, one based on Excel and the other one based on JSON.
We provide the reporter implementations on a as-is basis to allow interested third parties to submit FOSS compliance reports in a format already understood by the relevant legal depatments.
