I was discussing RFC 5617 with someone and the person mentioned that 
the copyright in the middle of the document is obnoxious.  The 
copyright statement for the code is 32 lines while the code (ABNF) is 
only five lines.

Can a copyright even be valid for just five lines of code?

I'm told that in some jurisdictions even one line of code is sufficient.
