It is relatively recent (late 1980s) that US became part of Berne
Convention (1886).  Before that you had to write Copyright and All
Rights Reserved (or Todos Derechos Reserrvados) in Buenos Aires

It is not surprising to see the more cautious practice from the
older days in recommendations by an old organization like FSF.
