I doubt that this is a huge tool-builder issue. Lets not go looking for problems.
I think moving the boilerplate is a good idea, particularly for people who are still reading the TXT versions of the docs.
The only piece I would keep on the front page is the bit that says where comments should go.

Some of us may regard the requirement of standard legal boilerplate
taking precedence over technical content to be a symptom of a problem,
rather than something to be accepted quietly. (But I have a great
deal of sympathy for the toolbuilders, and think that maybe just now
is not a good time to be making more changes. Perhaps the next time
one is required anyway, though?)
