Release under libre license

Please may the project be released under a libre license? Some OS distributions such as Parabola cannot package games which are not libre.

It is literally GPLv3

Many files have no copyright notices, and there is no license file in the root of the repo.

AFAIK GPL3 does not require this

there is no license file in the root of the repo

There is candybox2_sourceCodeLicense.txt

Whoops! I missed it because it wasn't called something standardised like COPYING.txt or LICENSE.txt.

As far as the license headers in each file goes, it's not a requirement, but it's clear documentation in case a file becomes separated from the repo.
