I worked with reuse-tool to check license and copyright, but some error were occurred. It seems to recognize backslashes as an escape sequences. The error was disappeared when I exchanged \3 character to \\3.

The OS is different, but there are similar issues, so I'm inquiring.

Closing notabug. This is inherent to DEP5 (and its library), and is a feature instead of a bug.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
