Hi Diederik,

as we are here would it be better to just move to an SPDX header instead?

Hi Simon,

Yes it would be better to move to SPDX header(s) instead.
But I now think [1] that I would be (technically) changing the license and I'm 
not in a position to do that.
While it may be reasonable to *assume* that GNU General Public License was 
meant, I think that's not enough when it comes to legal/license issues.

So please disregard my patch submission and apologies for the noise.

Regards,
  Diederik
