It's good that each file contains a copyright and license notice, but
writing just three letters instead of giving the full name, author and URL
of the license is not enough.
# Released under the GPL v3 by Jackson Yee (jackson@gotpossum.com)
# Copyright 2008
Solution: The copyright holder should change the notice. This is the text
recommended by the GNU General Public License:
# <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
# Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
#
# This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
# it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
# the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
# (at your option) any later version.

# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
# but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

# GNU General Public License for more details.
#
# You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
# along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
The recommended text unlike the current notice also allows future versions
of the GNU GPL to be used. The copyright holder may change the text to
continue to allow only GPLv3, but I recommend allowing future versions.
