Who made <CODE BEGINS> <CODE ENDS> imply copyright? This should be
fixed. The copyright is usually stated in the module's description
statement - and this is where it should be stated. The <CODE BEGINS>
<CODE ENDS> mechanism was designed as a markup for tools to allow
automated extraction - no more and no less. Can we please avoid
overloading this with additional semantics?
