    It pleases me no end that there are 2,013 2013's.

    It displeases me to no end that it starts with a copyright notice, but it turns out to be OSS.

    I'll admit that "hey, that could be actually 2 013 2013s", and there were. (There were far more than two point oh one three of them.)

    (Sorry.)

    The copyright notice is correct. You can't license something under GNU GPL unless you hold the copyright - if there was no copyright it would be public domain and the license would be irrelevant. The instructions on using the GPL at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html explicitly say to include a copyright notice. "All rights reserved" isn't correct, or at least is confusing, as they're clearly not reserving "all" rights.

    While waiting for someone to moderate @no, I'll just observe that all OSS and also all Free Software are of necessity copyright. And so yes, copyleft relies on copyright to function correctly.
