Please use only SPDX in new files

The wiki is incorrect.  The SPDX tag deals with the licensing tags
only.  It is not a replacement for the copyright notice in any way, and
having been involved with Copyright enforcement I can tell you that
at least in some jurisdictions Copytight notices absolutely do matter.
I believe you and can update the wiki text so it's more explicit about
the license an copyright.

Can you update the wiki text to remove "SPDX" from the heading and remove the sentence stating, "An initiative started in 2017 [1] aims to unify licensing information in all files using SPDX tags, this is driven by the Linux Foundation."

Thanks,
Jilayne
