Are you quite sure about that, Hugh? My understanding is that natural
copyright consists in anything at its moment of creation, and that
publication does not constitute surrender of copyright, even without a
copyright notice. If it's true that a copyright notice must be affixed
in order to preserve copyright - as opposed to simply being a reminder,
then I'm afraid that copyright bug will become part of my permanent
header.
