if you or anyone else have real suggestions (like the exact wording),
i'd appreciate seeing them.  however, as this is the first time i've
seen any complaints, and as it is the exact same wording i've been
using for three years, i am having a hard time believing that anyone
is really having trouble with that copyright notice.

seriously, if you have some "favorite" 4 or 5 line copyright notice
that you think is better, mail it to me.
