I usually do, if only to keep in practice of doing it. I've also seen in
the past a few "internal" documents get used for public purposes, like
examples of what our group is capable of producing and that sort of thing.
You just never really know.
I'd guess licensing agreements don't want you to ever leave off the
copyright symbols because they're usually pretty priggish... But I honestly
don't know.

The docs I'm working on are for internal use only. In the past when I've
worked on documents for customers that mention third-party software, I've
always rightly included TM, R, and so forth. Do I need to do that for
internal docs? I suppose I'm wondering if licensing agreements allow you
leave off the symbols.
Ta. If any of the above is confusing, let me know. I'm feeling confused at
the moment.
