    Is it enough to write in a file:
         "/* This file is part of PACKAGE and is under GPL see licence.txt */"
    No other copyright or license information listed.

Assuming that licence.txt exists, I would flag this and
recommend using the standard wording -- but not let it delay acceptance.
If they do it, that's great; if they don't, it's extremely probable that
it would be fine legally (in the highly improbable case that it ever
matters).

    Is it acceptable to write:
        "// Copyright Author Foo Bar address@hidden"
    Without a year?
    I think not, but want to verify.

Ditto.
