So I'm definitely not an expert, but my understanding is that "All rights reserved" is just a copyright affirmation phrase, it doesn't actually restrict/impact redistribution in itself. If you look at https://github.com/search?q=%22All+rights+reserved%22 it's all over the place, even in projects under permissive licenses.
