[gNewSense-users] KFV: GPL without version - does COPYING apply or not?

I just finished section drivers/watchdog

There were three files where license mentioned GPL but not any version nor the COPYING file.

Since I'm not sure whether COPYING file applies in these cases or not, I decided to mark these three cases as "GPL (only GPLv2 if COPYING applies)".

Is this OK?

The files are:
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Ubuntu-hardy-linux-2-6-24-12-22--drivers--watchdog--ibmasr-c
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Ubuntu-hardy-linux-2-6-24-12-22--drivers--watchdog--pcwd-c
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Ubuntu-hardy-linux-2-6-24-12-22--drivers--watchdog--wd501p-h

Also, in the second file the license is just "Written for the Linux Kernel, and GPLed by Ken Hollis" which I think is OK even if it is a bit short.
