I still think it's pointless to do when simpy editing an existing file.
This is a new file though.
Ah, I didn't even notice that detail :-)
In fact plenty new files don't actually even add an explicit copyright

Yeah, I just noticed a couple days ago that qemu_slirp.h has the

maybe it was because it was just a simple .h file, and that too was
something I missed the memo on...
