Does the copyright notice need to remain if I taiilor the document for company use?

Interesting question. I haven’t had that one before.
It really comes down to complying with the restrictions on distribution. If there is no copyright notice, the chance of someone sharing it down the road is higher (i.e a departing employee or your successor’s successor).
But, I do say in the license you can modify it for internal use without restriction, so I guess that means you can pull the copyright notice off, even though the content would still be protected.
My preference, though, would be to leave it on and add your company (i.e. (C) 2012 by Velaction and ACME)
Thanks for your interest. Hope the forms work out for you.
