Not true at all.  Copyright is not the same thing as an SPDX license
identifier in any way, shape, or form.  As-is, this is just fine.

Now I will not go into the issues where a "Copyright..." line really
means nothing at all anymore, as lawyers like to cargo-cult worse than
programmers do, so it's good to have those lines there just to make them
happy :)
