</div></div>It's actually a set of words that is no longer necessary as of the year<br>
2000. It's not communicating anything about a granted license, which is<br>
what the Apache License does - it's actually just asserting that the<br>
original copyright holder asserts that they have not waived any of their<br>
rights as a copyright holder. However, the Berne convention grants this<br>
automatically without a positive assertion.<br>
<br>
In short - the words "All rights reserved" neither help or harm anything.<br>
