We've heard no concerns about this change, so I just merged the pull 
request.  Thank you, everyone!


Robin suggested that we also add SPDX tags to all files.  IIUC those look 
like this:

 // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1 or LGPL-3.0

This sounds like a fine idea.  Any takers?  Note that this can't replace 
the COPYING and debian/copyright files, that latter of which at least 
is needed by Debian.  But additional and explicit license notifications 
in each file sounds like a good thing.

Thanks!
