Interesting that I was the one that raised issue with this,
yet was not included in the diffential resolving it.
For an "inclusive" project it seems to do a lot of "exclusive" things.

...

So lets say someone comes along and reworks one of these files,
how does that person assert their copyright without asserting
it on all of these files, which is what would happen if they
did it in LICENSE.

If they put it in the individual file it is discoupled from the
clause that says "the above copyright", which they may or may
not want as with it decoupled there would be no requirement
to place this per file copyright notice per clause 1 and 2 in the end
product.

I still feel this is just an unworkable model for the long run.

I do however thank you for improving the situation, at least now
the "LICENSE" file is of complete form with a copyright above to
make clause 1 and 2 work correctly, as well as the other fine
nits repaired.

There is one other fine niglect though, and that is 
the other SPDX work has the tags placed at the very top
of the file on the line after /*-.  I think this is done
on intention for tooling, and is documented by exmaple
in the "8. Preferred License for New Files" section of the
committers-guide here:
