Here is an example of a 2(c) notice: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:anthony$ bc bc 1.06 Copyright 1991-1994, 1997, 1998, 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details type `warranty'. The required part is all of 3 lines, could be two. Out of an interactive session (which makes it much more acceptable than if, say, 'ls' printed this). Legally, the warranty disclaimer probably provides some additional protection, as does the copyright notice. mkreiserfs at one point printed some 20 lines of stuff with no legal effect whatsoever.
