They're obviously being facetious, so it doesn't matter that "bullshit-free" probably can't be trademarked. What matters is that's the place you'd put a trademark symbol, not a copyright one. I'm not worried about the Apache license, but the types of things people without a solid grasp of copyright licensing often do, like copying code from elsewhere without license to, tainting their projects. I don't know whether that's happened here, but seeing things like "(c)" instead of "(TM)" makes me suspicious and less trustful.

Oh my actual god you are taking a clear bit of jest (you said so yourself) and acting as if it wasn’t in jest to make it an actual worry that you think it’s representative of what’s in the codebase? The author was clearly making a little fun of their own description of the project. Lighten up. Or file an issue correcting the jest to your liking.
