Can a copyright even be valid for just five lines of code?
I'm told that in some jurisdictions even one line of code is
sufficient.
Wow. That seems patently silly. Am I too late to copyright all calls to
malloc() and free()? :-)

As of a few days ago it certainly did. Otherwise we wouldn't have put
the license into RFC 5617 for the two lines (five after folding for
margins) of ABNF.

That's essentially why we are trying to enable folks to put a
reference in. The license needs to be with the extracted code. Can you
suggest a way to put the license at the end (where I would but happier
to have it also) and have it wind up in the extracted code?

Why not have these stable licences published in RFCs? Those are
already an archival format, so the reference is then not ambiguous. The
code could then just include a [RFC] reference, I guess?
