What about:

Check the top-level :file:`COPYING` file.  If you are a new copyright

This is explained in the "Copyright and License Comment Block" section. 
Should I reference this section? For example:

For the <FIRST YEAR>, <LAST YEAR>, and <COPYRIGHT HOLDER> placeholders 
see :ref:`FileHeaderCopyright`.
