True. But I think this is unlikely to be a problem when _copying_ a file, because the copy is created by you, so you get full access by default, and that includes the "write DAC" (a.k.a. "change ACL") privilege. However, it _can_ happen that after copying the ACL from the original, you no longer can change the access rights, if that privilege was denied in the original. Which is okay, I think.
