FileCopyrightText...

do we really need it?

systemd for example only has a spdx license header, resulting in much
tidier file headers.

I entirely fail to understand why we need to slap a FileCopyrightText
on files. The copyright surely applies whether or not I put the
FileCopyrightText there. The list is also just about always
incomplete, further calling its use into question. Not to mention that
it is annoying book keeping of information that is already available
in git.

Can someone shed some light on this?
