Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "(C) - All rights reserved" something entirely different from the BSD License under which FreeBSD is licensed? This license grants it's users some rights very explicitely. I know that I can still be a Copyright owner when I choose to distribute a piece of work under a different license, but can I say that all rights are reserved when I actually do something else?
