Yes. My understanding is that "c in a circle" (the copyright symbol) is
required by the UCC, but it's not usually necessary these days since
most countries are Bern signatories or WTO members.

However, I think that legal advice is required if we can get some. I
also don't want us to wander down a path where the above format may not
be good enough for some people, due to their local laws (I'm mean that I
don't know and international laws are so varied).
