OK, I now have two votes for removal-and-SPDX (you and Luis) and nobody
suggesting that keeping it in but commented out is actually a good idea:
I'll respin with removals instead, and add SPDX to anything so adjusted
that doesn't already have it (if anything).

(I'll stick both the removal and addition in the same commit, so there
is no point at which such files have no declared license at all.)
