    This is the best place I could think to ask this question.  If there is
    a better place, please point me to it.
    
    Is there a standard copyright notice Digital puts in its source code. 
    We have developed some custom software for a customer which we have
    retained rights to.  What has to go in the source before releasing it. 
    Do we put this notice in every module?

DEC STD 197-0 governs the copyright notices that shall be in our sources.

        http://www-server.mso.dec.com/elclass/a0019700.htm


DEC C uses the following:

The following is the copyright notice that should appear in sources created
in 1994.  When the year changes, replace 1994 by the appropriate year.
It is ok to preceed each line with one or more *'s to match the
surrounding comments.

    Copyright Digital Equipment Corporation 1994. All rights reserved.

    Restricted Rights: Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S.
    Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph
    (c) (1) (ii) of DFARS 252.227-7013, or in FAR 52.227-19, or in FAR
    52.227-14 Alt. III, as applicable.

    This software is proprietary to and embodies the confidential
    technology of Digital Equipment Corporation. Possession, use, or
    copying of this software and media is authorized only pursuant to a
    valid written license from Digital or an authorized sublicensor.

For code created in a previous year replace the first line of the notice
with:

    Copyright Digital Equipment Corporation 19xx, 1994. All rights reserved.

replacing 19xx with the year of creation.

We cannot use the prefered form of the copyright notice because the �
character followed by a space is an illegal multibyte character in certain
locales.  Thus, we use the alternate form which has the word Copyright in
place of the �.
