Two suggestions: * The GNU GPL and the CC-BY both have several versions. For the GPL, you should explicitly say "GNU General Public License, version 2", or "GNU General Public License, version 2 or later". For the CC-BY, do something similar, depending on the versions you want. * "(C)" has no legal significance; only "Copyright" and a C in a circle do. Use the full word "Copyright". Also, for the URLs, <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> works for the GPL, though in the ideal case you should include a copy of the GPL with the work. Other than that, it looks fine. - Josh Triplett
