I don’t think that’s sufficient though. Putting a LICENSE file in the project directory just addresses the “You should have received a copy” provision, but doesn’t effectively place the code under that license. You could even have several license files if parts of your project are under different licenses. That license file you put in your repository also states that you should attach a notice to the program. It can take several form but the recommended one is in the header of your source. In fact, there is already such a notice and it claims that the software is GPLv2+ (https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/tree/src/nautilus-main.c?id=365ec7f7ac1cec51dc0248dd05b17cb78252a788). This brings us to another point: do you intend to use GPLv3 or GPLv3+? The notice should be explicit about it (again, as suggested by the license you copied to your project).
