It seems like many of them comes from parsing source files as there are parts of the sources when scrolling to the bottom.

To Reproduce
See https://docs.surfer-project.org/licenses.html#ISC

Expected behavior
At least the multiple entries with the same year can be merged (and sources removed). One may even argue that the license should have preference if one fuzzily can match copyright holder.
