As an alternative, we could have some boilerplate that specifically
explains the situation to the upstream author when we encounter a bare
"GPL" in the source code:
I emailed an upstream with a similar message yesterday when I encountered
a COPYING file but no copyright/licensing-related comments in the source.
They responded immediately agreeing that they should add copyright
information, and even going so far as to ask my opinion on whether they
should use a specific version of the GPL or not. (Wow, what a cooperative
upstream.) FWIW, this was Coraid, upstream for aoetools and vblade.
I'm definitely a proponent of contacting upstream for clarification.
Hopefully all of them will be so friendly, especially since clearing this
up now could save them problems down the road.
