How about fixing the stylistic issue of saying 'For example, ..., and so on.'? Actually, the filenames doesn't strike me as examples at all. How about 'In particular, /usr/..., respectively.' instead? And make sure the paths are given in the same order as the text. Btw, the path to the LGPL v2.0 license is missing.
