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

Yes, they are. The first part "Copyright Person A" at least makes sense in _some_ way, but "all rights reserved" is just false given the GNU licence.

As I understand it the first part "copyright person A" is important because it gives a basis to *enforce* the terms of the GNU license.

Hmm, but you could just as easily say "Copyleft Paerson A" though.

“Copyleft” carries no legal meaning or force, and is actually enforced through copyright laws.

You can still say that if you want to highlight you're being open, which was my point. But I take your point too.
