Yes, the main point is the conflict of reserved all, and abandon some
(actually most).

According to the order the last will take effect IIUC Monty Taylor's

I'm thinking that we should remove the "all rights reserved" words if we're
using Apache license.
Misleading is not a good thing, especially when it is for legal issue.
