This copyright as formed is ambiguous as to who is asserting
"All rights reserved", which is actually desired to not be
asserted at all on new code.

But given some of the dates on the above it is probalby important
to preserve the assertion until the author can asked it to be removed.

Proposed form:

 * Copyright (c) 2019 Juniper Networks, Inc All rights reserved.
 * Copyright (c) 2004 Olivier Houchard All rights reserved.
 * Copyright (c) 1994-1998 Mark Brinicombe. All rights reserved.
 * Copyright (c) 1994 Brini. All rights reserved.
