This looks like a false positiv as the license digger does not speak
TeX not LaTeX but the code is

 \newenvironment{acknowledge}{%
   \section*{\ccacknowledgementsname}%
   \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\ccacknowledgementsname}%
 }{%
   \noacknowledge
 }
 \newcommand{\noacknowledge}{%
   \ifKV at ccsps@openaccess\if at ccack\else%
   \noindent{\small\@octxt\par}%
   \fi\fi%
   \global\@ccacktrue
 }%
 \def\@octxt{}%
 \def\openchoicetext#1{\gdef\@octxt{\paragraph{Open Access.} #1}}%
 \openchoicetext{This article is distributed under the terms of the
   Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial License which permits any
   noncommercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium,
   provided the original author(s) and source are credited.}%

and the README of computational-complexity simply states LPPL as
license.  In other words, only the author can marks his/her article
with CC-by-NC-A by using the environment `acknowledge' and even
the author can overwrite the used text.
