Speaking of copyright notices in DEC software... The standard one included this
paragraph:
; THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
; AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY DIGITAL EQUIPMENT
; CORPORATION. DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY
; FOR ANY ERRORS THAT MAY APPEAR IN THIS DOCUMENT.
But I have a copy of a manual (the RSTS V4 kernel ODT manual), which seems to be really an
internal document though I got it outside DEC, which has this spoof:
THE MATERIAL INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT, LIMITED TO
BUT NOT INCLUDING, CONSTRUCTION SPEEDS AND OPERATING
PURPOSES IS FOR INSTRUCTION TIMES ONLY. ALL SUCH
CLAIM IS MATERIAL WITHOUT NOTICE, AND IS BOUND TO
CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
