I think he meant a copyright for the work that's being documented
rather than for his design. As in if I wrote FooLib and generated 
documentation for it, I could mark it as "FooLib, (c) 2004 F. Bar"
by toggling rdoc with --copy "F. Bar" --copy-as "FooLib" 
--copy-year "2004".

Although I think the template should carry a copyright too, at least
in the source somewhere.
