I mentioned it as an aside, because it's interesting, and because one of
the rulings said something about fair use in software (I don't remember
what, though :-).
A similar situation held with the Vectrex game console, which wouldn't run
cartridges that didn't start with the string "(c) GCE 19". I don't think
it ever came to court (what? after the enormous commercial success of the
Vectrex?), but the sense at the time was that the
single-acceptable-expression constraint meant that it would've been held
to have been meaningless.
