I don't know what "all files generated for" means. Did you mean "from"?
in which case the answer has to be "no".

But re: "required in all files", "How to use GNU licenses for your own
software"[1] is relevant:

   "Whichever license you plan to use, the process involves adding two
   elements to each source file of your program: a copyright notice
   (such as "Copyright 1999 Terry Jones"), and a statement of copying
   permission, saying that the program is distributed under the terms of
   the GNU General Public License (or the Lesser GPL)."
