"All Rights Reserved" is boilerplate from the old "Buenos Aires"
copyright convention, (a purely N+S American affair) and it lost
all meaning and relevance for UCB when USA ratified the Berne
Convention 60 years ago.

The final Buenos Aires signatory joined Berne a couple of decades
ago, rendering the convention null and void, and therefore this
boilerplate has no meaning or relevance for anybody.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
