I just completed a class on software contracts. We talked at length about
copyrights, patents, etc. As I understand it, since the US has recently
agreed to follow the international copyright laws (Berne convention), it
is no longer a requirement to put a copyright notice in material to have
it considered copyrighted. In fact, everything written has an implied
copyright with or without a notice.
