On number 2, convention is to include a copy of the GPL in the distro  
in a file named COPYING or LICENSE.

It is also common practice to put a "copyright" comment header in each  
source file. Here's one that I use for something that we have not  
released, yet:

The above is from a Java program source file, obviously.
