This

C         Notice of Public Domain nature of MOPAC
C
C      'This computer program is a work of the United States
C       Government and as such is not subject to protection by
C       copyright (17 U.S.C. # 105.)

would seem to contradict this:

C	This notice shall not
C       be altered or removed from this software and is to be on
C       all reproductions.'

However, they have disclaimed copyright, so the only thing that would
forbid removal of the notice would be a US statute.  As you are outside the
US you could ignore it, though it would be discourteous not to give credit.
