+## Description
+
+I want to know how to create a Copyright label control for my application using .NET MAUI. I need the control to display the copyright symbol followed by a year and some text, with custom text color, underlining, and tap gesture recognizers for handling user interactions.
+
+This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+- How to format text in a Label using spans in .NET MAUI?
+- How to add tap gesture recognizers to a Label in .NET MAUI app?
+- How to underline and set text colors for individual spans in .NET MAUI?
+
+## Solution
+
+To create a Copyright label control, use the `Label` control with formatted text consisting of multiple spans. Below is the implementation:
+
+```xaml
+<Label>
+    <Label.FormattedText>
+        <FormattedString>
+            <!-- Display the copyright symbol -->
+            <Span Text="&#169;" />
+
+            <!-- Display the copyright year and text with custom styling -->
+            <Span Text="Copyright 2025"
+                  TextColor="Blue"
+                  TextDecorations="Underline">
+                <!-- Add a tap gesture recognizer -->
+                <Span.GestureRecognizers>
+                    <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding TapCommand}" />
+                </Span.GestureRecognizers>
+            </Span>
+        </FormattedString>
+    </Label.FormattedText>
+</Label>
+```
+
+1. The `Span` inside `FormattedString` allows you to define segments of text with different styles and behaviors.
+2. The copyright symbol (`&#169;`) is defined as a separate `Span`.
+3. Another `Span` is used for the "Copyright 2025" text, with `TextColor` set to `Blue` and `TextDecorations` set to `Underline`.
+4. A `TapGestureRecognizer` is added to the second `Span` to handle user interactions. Bind it to a command in the view model using `{Binding TapCommand}`.
