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).
