Christos, you are mistaken.  The following is a sample copyright notice
from a piece of source code in BSD 4.3-reno:

/*

 * All rights reserved.

All of BSD 4.4 will have some sort of copyright associated with it.  The UC
Regents will hold most of the copyrights; the Free Software Foundation
will hold
other copyrights on various tools, and (alas) AT&T (or whoever has succeeded
AT&T as the Unix [TM] Operating System copyright holder).
