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.
