I don't think anyone objects to displaying the original copyright information, and information on who modified what when a command line option for that purpose is added to an lprng command. I don't think that anyone would even object to it being included in usage(). From my perspective, I think that some people misunderstood what you were asking for, and thought that you wanted to display this information every time a command was used. Myself, I was a bit confused about exactly what you were asking for, and I appreciate you clearing it up.
