All source files, unfortunately. I'd say configuration files can be 
omitted, but anything with, say, functions should probably carry the 
header. You'd be surprised how many programs come with one or two files 
lifted wholesale from other projects -- which is the rationale for 
making sure that when files are distributed out of their original 
project, the license is still visible.

From the howto page:

"This statement should go near the beginning of every source file, close 
to the copyright notices. When using the Lesser GPL, insert the word 
“Lesser” before “General” in all three places. When using the GNU AGPL, 
insert the word “Affero” before “General” in all three places."

This reply is sufficient, thanks. If all the changes are in one or two 
commits, I can probably just extract that commit, apply it as a patch, 
and point to the mailing list archive for clarification.

Best regards,
