I've seen that META tag before, myself. But I see no reason for it. If
you don't want a page cached, you can set it up with an expiration date
a couple of years back ... and it doesn't cause Arachne, nor to my
knowledge any other browser, to lock up. It is often used in
"redirects" -- that's where I'm currently using it myself.

And, under US copyright law, you own all rights to anything the minute
you start to write it with the intent of publication. Publication
includes making it available to others on the internet. You can use
'comment statements' at the top of your html page to state that "all
rights reserved" ... the law is tricky in one way: If you say
"copyrighted" and/or use the circled c symbol, you are required to send
two copies to Library of Congress and fill in forms for copyright, or
else you don't *have* copyright. So if it's not registered and copies
aren't sent to DC, just say "all rights reserved, 1996-2000" or some
such.
