Well damn. I guess I can’t use blank lines in my code anymore. This is going to be rough.

Also are there any copyright koans? As in a copyright notice that copyrights itself?

Just copy them from public domain works! Or, come up with the independently - an absolute defence to copyright infringement.

I vaguely recall seeing a license that claimed the license text itself was under copyright and it included a license to use the license. I’m not a lawyer though so no idea if you can actually copyright a license text.
