+1 "All rights reserved" is some legalese hangover, and is a factually incorrect claim that makes folks nutty. It is better not to use it at all.
I believe the standard Apache notice suggested by Gianluca is appropriate. There could be buttons (or links) for accessing the installed copies LICENSE and NOTICE and a few words about details being there. Any README about what this is, where it is from, how to find the source, more-recent information, and details of the release is also worthy. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Gianluca Turconi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 00:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS]: content of the about dialog box 2011/11/21 Rob Weir <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 1:13 PM, Andrea Pescetti > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Rob Weir wrote: >>> >>> So in total, maybe something like: >>> ========= >>> Copyright © 2011 Apache Software Foundation.

In this way Apache wouldn't claim* full rights* (including intellectual ownership) in the about dialog box that instead is denying in a hypothetical NOTICE file for specific files.
