I have two comments on this:

 (1) The text is excessively long.  I attach below the copyright blurb
     from the Emacs ChangeLog files; I think what's good for RMS is
     good enough for us.

 (2) It should go _after_ the "Local Variables" section.

Here's the copyright found in Emacs ChangeLog files.  Note the
semi-colons in the Local Variables lines: they make sure their
fontification in Emacs isn't screwed up (like they are in GDB).
