Speaking of content. It seems the copyright headers I'm using in
Killbots have a non-standard last paragraph. Looking around it seems
that some files use:

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301  USA

while others use:

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

In Killbots I ended up with a merged version:

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses>
    or write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street,
    Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA.

I don't think I made this up myself, but I can't find where I borrowed
it from originally.

Is this kind of deviation a reason for concern?
