They aren't.  I downloaded http://nngs.cosmic.org/src/nngs-src.tar.gz
and when looking at the files in the root of the tarball, I saw many
files that didn't have the copyright notices.

The files in the nrat subdirectory and in the orat subdirectory have
the wrong GPL header in them.  More specifically the last part is
wrong:

    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

Before releasing your project under the GPL, please place
copyright notices and permission to copy statements at the beginning

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn
why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code,
for example, go to

Ok.

You don't we, know that because when we discard a project we add a log
message.  

Can you assure me you will update the files and add the (correct)
headers?
