To be safe we got all the contributors to agree before removing that from our open source code base, which took quite a while.

"Some rights reserved" is a still a sometimes useful, though cheeky, signal for copyleft, Creative Commons, or open source, though. (From what I recall, it started a branding/marketing choice from Creative Commons, but in the wild I've seen it in more places than just CC licensed works.) It's not legally binding in any way, just a fun signal to humans that they might have more rights to play with than full copyright.

  My habit is to use "All Rites Reversed." That also has no legal effect, but it's fun. Hail Eris!
