I disagree.  It does look like a Copyright notice, but just because the
permission to copy information isn't in the binary doesn't mean that
it doesn't exist.  What you do have here is a copyright notice, and
that means that the permission to copy had *better* exist somewhere.  I
wouldn't propagate the program until I found it.

(You know, I really hate having to do this, but someone tried to make
 the program too smart, and in doing so, they only made it stupid.)
