There's no harm is having a copyright notice.  In order to license something, it must first be copyrighted.  Generally speaking, copyright is the default in the U.S., but I'm not sure about other countries and folks should probably know who holds the copyright (and hence, who is licensing the content).

As it stands right now, I would think the content's author would hold the copyright, until it is assigned to someone else.  And, despite prior discussions that suggest the contrary, the legal status of OpenNIC still seems fuzzy to me, since it has yet to be registered anywhere as anything.

Yeah sure, I have to go out now, so will attend to it a.s.a.p. I have
removed the copyright for now.
