It appears that originally elf.h is BSD-licensed. I see quite a
lot of "All rights reserved" in BSD-licensed files in gcc, and
glibc (though it is LGPL'ed).

There's a lot of "all right reserved" in Linux' GPL'ed code.

You addressed to the lawyer on this question? Is there any FSF
advice about it? Or you're doing it just to be on a safe side?

Because my google-foo says that "all right reserved" is a no-op
nowadays, but Google is surely not a lawyer.

Thanks,
