I am not a lawyer, but ... the legal requirement is that copyright notices appear in a prominent place. I don't think it has to be the very first thing printed, it just has to be prominent. I think the idea is that if someone copies it without your permission, and then they claim "I didn't notice that you copyrighted it!", then you would say "any half-awake person would have seen my copyright notice WHILE THEY WERE COPYING THE REST OF MY WORK!" If you look at a book, the copyright notice isn't on the cover. But it's close to the front. There might be a GNU coding standard about it though. Michael C
