I know this was already reverted from master because you meant to do it on a branch, but:

According to WikiPedia, "All rights reserved" has no effect in any legal jurisdiction:

Unless anyone knows otherwise, we may as well remove it everywhere.

The attribution to Apple in the license text appears in many files, not just this one. This file certainly didn't originate from Apple, but some MacPorts source files did, and I don't know what the correct treatment of those files is. Do we change them to MacPorts, since we maintain the files now, or do we need to retain the mention of Apple in those files that Apple originated, possibly adding our name to theirs? And if so, do we change their name to Apple Inc., since that is their name now? If someone could look up what the legally correct thing to do here is, that would be great. Whatever the outcome, we should apply it to all files.
