[Discussion] Drop SPDX-License-Identifier header?

See original GitHub issue

I will like to discuss the drop of the SPDX-License-Identifier and the Copyritght holders headers in the Python code. The LICENSE file should cover the common case, and the copyright notice can be in the documentation, or in some more general place.

@aplanas Seems there are no objections, feel free to make this change.

I agree that pulling both into a single file would make sense and only have a separate license section for a file if it’s different. But I’m pretty sure we would never want to have multiple licenses as not only are there incompatibilities, but it would make life very difficult for packagers.

I’m in favor of this change, but wanted to give it a couple of days to make sure there weren’t any big objections from the community.
