Answering my own question, there are differences between the license in the files
and the SPDX license [1]. They are: 
- the license in the files adds "(including the next paragraph)" in the second
  paragraph
- the files have "AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS" in the third paragraph
- a couple of list items are transposed and changed, but should be fine
  according to [2]

So IANAL, but it seems like you should either add the SPDX and remove the
boilerplate, or keep the boilerplate and skip the SPDX.
