Improve this question

My project is contributed under the GPL lisence. I want to add some copyright notices into all files. Would it be enough:

/*
 * Copyright (c) 2010 Developer Name 1, Developer Name 2
 * This file is part of %Project name% (page at https://page).
 * Project is contributed with GPL license. For more information, visit web page.
 */

Or I have to include some license text there?

If you're going to distribute code under the GPL, then have a look at the GNU Hello program for examples of how to decorate your source code with appropriate comments.

The ordinary boilerplate for the GNU GPL reads as follows, and that is what you should use.
