Even if it respects that, there's no way that Mailman can know to
respect his ridiculous copyright restriction. Human-readable text in a
copyright notice is not going to affect an automated system. If he
tries to sue Mailman or the PSF or "the internet" for distributing his
text in violation of his copyright, I hope that an intelligent judge
would liken it to posting your phone number on a billboard and then
complaining that people are ringing you. When you put something out
there in public, it's public, and people can and will see it.
