Strictly speaking you broke the copyright.

This line was explicitly dropped by the copyright holder:

commit bce7ee9d412b6410e6d799c4a417617cbb148e09
Author: Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz at FreeBSD.org>

     Drop "All rights reserved" from all my stuff.  This includes
     Foundation copyrights, approved by emaste at .  It does not include
     files which carry other people's copyrights; if you're one
     of those people, feel free to make similar change.
     
     Reviewed by:    emaste, imp, gbe (manpages)
     Differential Revision:  https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26980

Notes:
     svn path=/head/; revision=367105

It is not ethical (and possibly not legal) to undo the copyright
holder's explicit change.  If you want to reduce the diff with
upstream, then push this local change to remove this line upstream
instead.

Note that the original commit is in line with a recent-ish change
in the Project's license policy to discourage the use of the
"All rights reserved" line as antiquated and obsolete, and that
it has been dropped from all of the Project's recommended license.
