Did you use a script or something to verify that the text being
removed is word for word identical to the text in LICENSES/ ?

I had understood this was the reason the original SPDX conversion left
the license text around?

It looks OK to me, but I didn't check it word for word :)

Is there a reason this series is coming up now around the uapi
headers? Are we doing them all or something?
