"I like putting [Symantec's copyright notices] in [my programs] anyhow…gives
them free advertising. :)"
You may like to do this, but I'd advise others against following your example.
You own the exclusive copyright to your original program, even when it contains
individually copyrighted elements, except as restricted by your license for
each element. The purpose of a copyright notice is to assert your exclusive
ownership of the right to copy your work, which is a property right with
commercial value. It isn't a good practice to accept licenses or make
statements that muddy up who owns your finished work.

Sorry, Bob, I should've said that I like specifying it was created using THINK
C, whether or not it's a specific copyright notice or not.
You make a good point, though. Maybe that's why Symantec removed THINK
Technologies' requirement to add "portions copyright THINK" or whatever.

"…I like specifying [my program] was created using THINK C…"
Sure. Actually, if I'd thought of it, I'd have done the same, since I had a
very good reason to tell folks my last program was created with THINK C and the
TCL. 🙂
