It's better than nothing, but I would rather use the full GPL header, because that
- includes a "no warranty" phrase
- explicitly states whether it's "GPL v2" or "GPL v2 or later"
- is the de-facto standard used in 98% or so of all GPL'd projects
As for the changelog, I don't think that's necessary. That information is contained in the svn commit logs (at least it should), there's no need to duplicate it in the files...
HTH, Uwe.
