No. But before that time, lack of a copyright notice would put the
work in the public domain, which is no longer the case. That?s why
some old software is in the public domain ? the creators neglected to
label it properly.
See Wikipedia for a lot more.
I don't ever remember putting a copyright notice in software in the
early 1970s. I thought that the 1978 URAAs changed the picture,
especially wrt what was valid deposit medium.
I'll do a bit of research, particularly with respect to a compiled
software product being copyright-material versus the source code
considered as a literary work.
