I'm not risking rephrasing the notes because IDKI don't know if it's allowed (in MPL case it seems hardcoded), even though I want to. Is it OK to put it all into a separate file stating something like:

For source code: [MPL note]

For non source code: [CC note]

implying that MPL is for all source code files and CC is for the rest?
