The fsf docs say to include the license text in every file it applies
to, but the github default is to add a single file to the root of the
project. This has me wondering.
Why the indication is different ? Isn' t this a legal standard ?
There's no single convention and I don't think many GNU packages
include the full license text everywhere. Each practice has its pros
and cons, but they all can be made legal and compliant. In my opinion
the SFLC hybrid solution is the best:

In summary, you keep a short stub in every file that points to the
correct license at the root.
Also the project includes some csv files that I extracted from some
xls files published by a governmental agency. If I put a single
license file at the top of the project, will it apply to the
resources files too ?
Can we assume that your project's license and those files' original
licenses are compatible?
