Well, you can named the file as you want it, I just recommend you
called 'DOCS.LICENSE', because the name itself say something about the
license of the documents. This file should container just the
Copyright and License Notices for all the docs files, in this case
something like this:

Nothing more, and you should put it into doc/refernce and
doc/reference/tmpl.

Can you provide us with more information about this point when you get
the answer of the last two persons?
