The first thing I notice is:
> Please link to <https://raskie.com>, if you intend to redistribute this .exe.
Now that's probably okay so long as it's a nice request ("please"), and not a requirement; AIUI, GPLv3 doesn't (generally) allow you to add conditions (ex. a license file that says "GPLv3 but no commercial users" isn't allowed by the text of GPLv3). But IANAL and I'm sure this is more complex than I think it is. Which brings us to a reasonable useful point: I would suggest never putting anything in a license file other than the exact standard form of the license; adding anything else, at best, makes people have to read it and try to understand what you've done rather than being able to say "oh, it's GPLv3 and I've cached that that's 100% okay for me" and stop thinking about it.
