Add a note about the phrase 'All Rights Reserved' here to act as a
mini-FAQ. While volumes could be written about this, keep it breif and clear at the expense of a few details and irrelvant pedantry. Approved by: core@ (emaste, jhb)

<p>Historically, the phrase 'All Rights Reserved.' was
|
||||
included in all copyright notices. The BSD releases had it to
|
||||
comply with the Buenos Ares Convention of 1910 in the
|
||||
Americas. With the ratification of the Berne Convention in
|
||||
2000, it became obsolete. As such, the FreeBSD project
|
||||
recommends that new code omit the phrase and encourages
|
||||
existing copyright holders to remove it. In 2018, the project
|
||||
updated its templates to remove it.</p>
