says
"The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain three elements. They should appear together or in close proximity on the copies. The elements are:
1 The symbol C (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright," or the abbreviation "Copr."; and
(A or B) is true even if A is true and B is true. :-P Regards Hartmut
2 The year of first publication. <snip>
3 The name of the owner of copyright in the work, <snip>"
Note that 1 says C OR word "Copyright", not AND.
And I'm not sure that (c) == C - so why not keep it simple and just write

Unless anyone objects, I am going to remove the copyright symbol "C" from source and header files (in response to support request #597). I will not touch anything that's not in a comment. ;-)
It looks like about 37 header files, and 24 source files.
I'll do this tonight, unless anyone objects.
Example transformation: In file "boost/archive/detail/auto_link_archive.hpp", on line #12: // C Copyright Robert Ramey 2004 will become: // (c) Copyright Robert Ramey 2004
A clarification, before anyone panics - I am not going to remove people's copyright statements from the source.
All I'm going to do is remove the non-ASCII symbol "C", and replace it with the (just as legally binding, at least in the US) string "(c)".
I thought we had established that the (c) sign wasn't necessary at all?
Just saying 'copyright' does the business?
Yours IANALly
