Indeed. But then, Linux is a much more complex project, and I don't
remember that this issue has been thoroughly addressed there yet.

I guess I should ask again.

My current understanding is that "all right reserved" is incompatible
with GPL (when releasing something under GPL you cannot at the same
time reserve _all_ rights), and also license checking tools like OSLC
handle it this way.
I'll ask again, just to be sure.

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes that
harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
