In the field of copyright law, "copyright notice" is a term of art, and is particularly defined in section 401(b) of the Copyright Act. A copyright notice may be included in the terms of a license agreement, but they are not the same thing. In general, given the choice, it's best to use the term accurately, rather than confusing the issue by incorrectly referring to the 3000 word license agreement as a "copyright notice." Yes, I've seen lengthy licenses. That doesn't make them notices.
