copycenter n.

[play on `copyright' and `copyleft'] 1. The copyright notice

carried by the various flavors of freeware BSD. According to Kirk

McKusick at BSDCon 1999: "The way it was characterized

politically, you had copyright, which is what the big companies

use to lock everything up; you had copyleft, which is free

software's way of making sure they can't lock it up; and then

Berkeley had what we called "copycenter", which is "take it down

to the copy center and make as many copies as you want".
