Yes, that's it.  File-level has definite limitations, but it still 
better than one assertion for the entire project.

Like, imagine a project with 300 files and you have a single COPYRIGHT 
in the base folder that says

"Some elements are AI-Assisted and some are Fully AI Generated"

So now, if you want to copy a single module from this project, you don't 
know what copyright applies.  Applying that on a 
per-module/library/function/interface basis would be better, but nobody 
has found a way to practically do that.
