Sorry for being too touchy. :) I'm up past my bedtime. When I said that "all rights reserved" is still relevant, I meant the following: The Berne Convention generally only requires "Copyright" and a date to claim a copyright, and sometimes, not even that. The older and different Pan American convention requires the additional phrase "all rights reserved". But the latter phrase is still important in the world, because there are countries that are members of the Pan American convention but not the Berne convention, so publishers are well advised to put both, even now. But you thought I meant that it was still relevant for Debian; agreed that it's not--we honor even kludgy badly phrased copyrights, because that's safer, and safety is good. Thomas
