In order to release your project under the GPL you
should write copyright notices and copying permission
statements at the beginning of every source-code file, and
include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt copy it, for
instance, into a file named COPYING).
Please follow the advice of
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
The GPL FAQ can also help you understand the reason behind
thoses recommendations. For example, there is an entry explaining
why the GPL requires including a copy of the GPL with
every copy of the program:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude
Also, "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system
that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize
the ideals of the Free Software movement.
Would you mind changing occurences of Linux as OS
to GNU/Linux?
