Re: Short copyright notice in script file



As I pointed out, in the US, First Sale is in title 17, chapter 1, section 109.

# Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106 (3), the owner of a
# particular copy or phonorecord lawfully made under this title, or any
# person authorized by such owner, is entitled, without the authority of
# the copyright owner, to sell or otherwise dispose of the possession of
# that copy or phonorecord. 

This would seem to cover it, as long as the work was copyrighted in the US.
(US courts have not decided on First Sale applied to works copyrighted
outside the US.)
