Why should it be bogus? ``All Rights Reserved'' is the standard phrase
used for retaining copyrights in South American countries.  Distribution
has nothing to do with retaining or relinquishing copyrights.   One can
`distribute' software over a public network, such as bix and through FTP,
and still mantain full copyright on it. For example, the entire  X Window
System is available for FTP access, though copyrighted by MIT.
