Linux is only the kernel. http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html
has an extensive explanation about why calling GNU/Linux GNU/Linux is
so important for us.

To release your project under the GPL, you should put
copyright notices and copying permission statements
at the beginning of every source-code file, and
include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt).
Put it in a file named COPYING.
Please follow the advice of http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.
The GPL FAQ explain the reason behind these recommendations. For
example, there is an entry explaining why the GPL requires including a
copy of the GPL with every copy of the program:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude
Please send me an updated tarball.
Kind regards,
Rudy
