Copyright holder name lacks legal entity in some cases #351

Description

@sschuberth

In some cases the Copyright holder name lack the legal entity. For example, given the line

Copyright (c) 2016 HERE Europe B.V.

(which is part of an MIT license), ScanCode 2.0.0.rc1 detects

  "copyrights": [
    {
      "statements": [
        "Copyright (c) 2016 HERE Europe"
      ], 
      "holders": [
        "HERE Europe"
      ], 
      "authors": [], 
      "start_line": 3, 
      "end_line": 3
    }
  ], 

As you can see, both the statement and the holder lack the B.V. which denotes the legal entity, and as such is quite important to have as part of the holder name.
