Does it make sense for software to have a GNU licence and a statement of "Copyright Person A, all rights reserved"? I feel like those two things are in conflict with each other? @MozOpenLeaders? @SoftwareSaved #collabw18

@npch. So I'm now confused, is what we said wrong then? It certainly feels weird to say all rights reserved when it's open to me. Hmm. -
I think I interpret
@DailyPedantry’s response to say that as the copyright holder, you retain all rights, which allows both GPL and dual-licensing, and that you claim that by using the phrase “All Rights Reserved” (1/2) -
However the use of this phrase was a convention under Buenos Aires Comvention of 1910, which became obsolete in 2000. Therefore the phrase is not necessary to assert copyright and is arguably confusing. But not wrong. (2/2)

WOAH - fun facts galore! Thank you all for the discussion!

Ahhhhhhh. OK, good. And thanks to her (
@DailyPedantry) and you, Neil! -
Yes, thanks

Bonus fact! Registering a copyright is now cheaper than certified mailing it anywhere. So, “poor man’s copyright” despite always being dubious, is now more expensive than just registering.
