Follow-up Comment #6, task #9801 (project administration): We request that you use the copying-permissions notice that is described in the gpl-howto. Simply stating "This is free software, please read COPYING for details", does not clarify which license you are using. With the GNU GPL version 3 license you have the option to copy from code under other licenses compatible with GNU GPL, which will most likely state their licensing terms in the COPYING file. So in a project when there are multiple sources of code, it creates a mess.
Please follow the the GPL Howto for instructions on how to apply it: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html You are using the GPL version 3 for your license correct? Here is an example copying-permissions notice I am requesting you use instead: This file is part of Foobar.
