Re: embedding text in executables??

["John R. Strohm" <strohm@airmail.net>]

OK, http://devrsrc1.external.hp.com/STK/partner/elf-64-hp.pdf describes an
extension to the ELF format, refers back to the original ELF format, and
describes a NOTE section type that can probably be corrupted to do what you
want to do.

You'll probably have to build a special-purpose tool to insert your
proprietary rights header into an ELF module.
