No, it's quite right. I've forgotten web site references but it's quoted in every document I read. ... and why not put © in a source code document if you want? >(Not that copyright needs an explicit sign any more anyway - the >point of the sign is to say who the copyright holder is, not to be >a juju creating the legal status). Agreed. But the sign must be © or the word "copyright". The documents say that (C) is not sufficient.
