Why doesn't this use strscpy()?  Isn't the source terminated?

Both the source and the destination measure 16 characters.  If it is
true that the source is not terminated, then this copy might truncate
the (non-)string by overwriting the last byte with a NUL.  Is that
truncation a good thing?

Same question here.
