I wasn't particularly sure if he found the right file, based on the comments made by Justin and was hoping Justin could speak up to explain why it is or isn't an issue, and if there's a way to include a sample atom that wouldn't get flagged. I had posed on the list "1955 - 1971, Fake Atom Enterprises" which obviously would be an invalid copyright used only for demonstration purposes.
