Yes, it was a typo which does not harm (works on all my boxes like this - I never relaised; thanks ;-)). You can perfectly name the file like "luis_very_own_preferences.pref".

Yes. It's actually that the license needs to be one paragraph. If you fill up the empty lines with . ( "<blank>.") this should vanish.
