Use of the symbol "©" in combination with certain other requirements affords copyright protection in some foreign countries. To ensure the enforceability of the copyright in the United States as against claims of innocent infringement, "Copyright" should always appear in the notice.All software distributed to others, whether it is distributed as "limited freeware" via computer networks or through the OTL or other Campus software distribution program should contain the copyright and disclaimer statement to protect the University of California and individual authors from any liability which might result, however remote, from the use of research software.
