 ``SPDX-License-Identifier`` comment appears in the file.
 
+Copyright notices are extracted using the third-party :command:`reuse` tool from the REUSE group.
+When found, these notices are added to SPDX documents as ``FileCopyrightText`` fields.
+
+.. note::
+   Copyright extraction uses heuristics that may not capture complete notice text, so
+   ``FileCopyrightText`` content is best-effort. This aligns with SPDX specification recommendations.

 SPDX Relationships are created to indicate dependencies between
 CMake build targets, build targets that are linked together, and
 source files that are compiled to generate the built library files.
