In fact, it's better to write the entire short copyright statement, at 
the end of the GNU GPL, since it is Free Software  and files can be 
used out of your project (and  "Please see the file COPYING for the 
complete copyright notice."  isnt correct in this case):

" If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these 
terms.

  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it 
does.>
