Apart from that, they got it all wrong!  The US now abides to the Berne
convention with respect to copyright (so I think there must have been an
update for the 1976 Copyright Act), the SU did (and does not) respect copyright
at all!  So, in the SU you could, and can, copy and change everything as much
as it pleases you.
