Having a license header in all files is not a necessary condition for a program to be free. It's necessary that the license or lack of Copyright is stated somewhere; and it's good practice to state it in every file so that even if they're found individually or split from the program, users know which license applies, but it may also be stated in a single file what license the project has. This is not at all specific for the GNU GPL; see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#NoticeInSourceFile
