This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Fixes:
$ make valgrind-tests TESTS=test-rlimit-util
...
Running test-rlimit-util
Assertion 'setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &new) >= 0' failed at src/test/test-rlimit-util.c:41, function main(). Aborting.

The setrlimit system call now simply updates the emulated limits as best
as possible - the hard limit is not allowed to move at all and just
returns EPERM if you try and change it.
