One way to fix it is to change buf.write('|') to buf.write('\Z|') in
globs_to_re in copyright.py line 485[1]. The comment at the end of the
method sounds like that the thinking had been that in 'foo|bar\Z' the
\Z would affect matching of foo but in reality only affects bar.Other possibility is modifying matches(). In copyright.py line 758, pat.match(filename) could be changed to pat.fullmatch(filename). Then globs_to_re wouldn't need to add \Z even at the end.
