It is relatively recent (late 1980s) that US became part of Berne Convention (1886). Before that you had to write Copyright and All Rights Reserved (or Todos Derechos Reserrvados) in Buenos Aires days.

It is not surprising to see the more cautious practice from the older days in recommendations by an old organization like FSF.
