Nod, but what I meant was the "wall of shame" file that the lawyers wanted, which preserved each variant license notice text and a list of the files that had it removed. I thought the idea was horrible, and said so at the time, but they aren't wrong that the GPLv2 has a requirement to "keep intact all the notices that refer to this License". None of us managed to come up with a better alternative than moving the notices into a doc file, with some introductory text to say "please never do this again, just use SPDX headers". Though, maybe it would be better if I said nothing and allowed the whole idea to be forgotten... Allison
