Anyway, what's the use of the copyright message? Suppose this would
become common use and even "ls" and "ps" would produce a copyright

An option to dump copyright information would be useful though.

See other post. That would be a warning, not the usual codec init barf.
Actually, there is a great chance you won't even see the warning message
because of the pile of output it is buried in.
