I think we should put them underneath, as most of the engines do it.
The *current* licensing situation is the important one, and I think
it's preferable to keep our initial headers consistent between all
files if possible, if only to make it easier to check them. Plus I
think anyone reading the files is likely to skip over the standard
comment on the basis that they've seen it all before..

But in any case updating tinsel/queen seems like a good idea.
