Seems like if you know how to modify the copy protection scheme, it would be
less trouble to * remove it altogether * than to transfer it to a different
disk.  Am I missing something obvious (or even subtle)?

BTW, I finally got Small-C transferred to my 1581.  It runs just fine.  Not
only is it not copy-protected, it's FREE.  I even have the compiler source.
Using the 1581 & a 1750 RAMdisk makes CP/M pretty painless.  With source in
hand, I hope to make a variant generate 6502 assembler under C128 native mode
(or DEVPAK, if it ever comes out) or maybe even GeoProgrammer.
