<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>
