From: "Barr3y Jaspan" <bjaspan@Athena.MIT.EDU>
To: bugs@Athena.MIT.EDU
The following patches fix a few minor problems in the LaTeX thesis
stuff. Specifcally,
o The phrase "All rights reserved." is not included in the copyright
notice for course VI theses.
o The phrase "and to grant others the right to do so" has been added
to the standard permission clause.
o The second copy of the abstract is not counted as separate pages,
so the numbers work out right.
According to Anne Hunter, these changes are necessary. All standard
disclaimers apply, of course. :-)

+ % \copyrightnoticetext takes an argument and defined \@copyrightnotice
+ % to that argument. \copyrightnotice takes an argument, and calls
+ % \copyrightnoticetext with that argument, preceeded by a copyright
+ % symbol and followed by ``All rights reserved.'' and the standard
+ % permission notice.

+ % If you use the 'vi' option, \copyrightnoticetext is used to set the
+ % copyright to ``(C) Your Name, Current Year in Roman Numerals.''
+ % followed by the permission notice.

% If there is no \copyrightnotice command, it is asssumed that MIT
% holds the copyright. This commands adds the copyright symbol to the
% beginning, and puts the standard permission notice below.
