No, it's a copyright notice. It's precisely NOT any kind of licence. You see `all rights reserved' ? Copyright law makes it a civil offence to do certain things to a copyrighted work without permission (called a licence) from the copyright holder. Children can in most jurisdictions be held responsible for civil offences they commit. Ian.
