Hah!

$ ./psql template1
Welcome to psql, the PostgreSQL interactive query shell.
(Please type \copyright to see the distribution terms of PostgreSQL.)
PostgreSQL 6.5.2 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by egcs

Type \h for help with SQL commands,
\? for help on internal slash commands,
\q to quit,
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query.
template1=> \copyright
memory clobbered before allocated blockAborted (core dumped)

Oops! :)

Okay, I guess the motivation behind this was the question "Where is that
damn COPYRIGHT file?", or maybe I've just been reading the appendix to the
GPL too often.

Anyway, I guess I'll let the balance of the suggestions apply.
