There is no requirement in most countries* to show that something is
copyrighted, as it's a basic right. It's protected by default, so the
whole "© 2005 IBM Corporation" is unnecessary. None of the other
contributers ever required something like this.
* Atleast in the Netherlands, and what I gather from wikipedia also in
the US through the Berne convention
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works)
