Add comments like this to the beginning of all the code files:

// ALERT: Amazing Luna Engine Research Tools
// This program is free software, and can be redistributed and/or modified by you. It is provided 'as-is', without any warranty.
// For more details, terms and conditions, see GNU General Public License.
// A copy of the that license should come with this program (LICENSE.txt). If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

Maybe also put a link to the repo there? Maybe also have a notice printed when using editor.py / main.py, like GPLv3 suggests?

The part linked says about "terminal interaction", which neither working webserver nor scripts printing "usage" message do. And GUI (web) piece doesn't have an about box, so nowhere to put that as well.

Anyway, it looks like most programs, even GPL-licensed, don't follow that strictly. I think having a LICENSE.txt next to the app is good enough.
