The point, of course, is that 'beginning' means 'first thing in the file'; 
or it least it could, and likely would, mean that to a typical lawyer.

The workaround could be to put each piece in a separate include file with 
the appropriate notice at the top of the include file.

I just wanted to point out how legal pickiness can go to ridiculous 
extremes.
