Mu. Retaining copyright notices upon redistribution is required by common law and various statutes and treaties. A specific licensor might affirmatively waive that obligation -- or even require its removal, as I do in the licence on my personal 'rants' Web pages, http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/ (the 'Alternatively' clause, which implements an authorship-credit-not-allowed concept Don Marti invented and calls 'bastard reverse copyleft'). -- Cheers, "Never bury the lede.
