GPL licenses suggest adding a license notice at the top of each source file, like this:

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

This is where it is explicitly allowed to use later versions of GPL (the main LICENSE text doesn't specify it). So it's a good idea to add these headers to each file to make sure it's really GPLv2+ and not GPLv2 only.

Relates to #4 as the header can be added along the Roxygen comments.

I am going to do the R source files and create a PR for it.
