I don't think that ANYONE should mess with a copyright notice other than
the original author.  If a moderator, or anyone else for that matter, has
a problem with the terminology in a source listing, they certainly have the
right to delete the source or send back a request for further clarification,
etc.  But even if the format and other info is incorrect, I dont believe
that there is a legal right to mess with it.

P.S.  I noticed some stuff posted in one of the groups recently where the
poster posted a message with copy right info and then several msgs with the
supposedly copyrighted info.  I dont think that this will cut it.  I believe
that EACH copy of an item must have its own copyright hard coded or printed
in/on it.  Thus if you are using a shar or arc format, each extracted item
must have the actual copyright string.  The conditions for usage might be
able to be localized, with perhaps a brief note specifying where one might
find the localized info...
