That should be stated in the header, but you don't need any special format. In
DAT files, put your verbiage in as comment lines, before the real code.
In an MPD, I'm not sure whether or not you'd need to repeat the copyright text
in each DAT/section. Maybe a short form in subfiles, with the complete
statement in the main file?
If you are hand-coding the MPD, be sure to put the copyright statement *after*
the first 0 FILE line. Otherwise, MPD-splitter programs will *not* include the
text in any of the DAT files. But they might display it for the user.
Actually, with an MPD, you can manually add a COPYRITE.TXT file, which contains
the complete statement. Then each subfile just needs a comment-pointer to
COPYRITE.TXT, such as "See COPYRITE.TXT for complete copyright and licensing
information".
You could do:
0 Big Model
0 WRITE This file is copyright. Use a text editor to read the entire statement.
