I'm worried that adding those identifiers gives an implied promise about th=
eir
correctness.

There is also the impediment to future development because we have to discu=
ss
whether we need to copy SPDX identifiers as well when copying code around, =
and
if a file has multiple such identifiers, if all should be copied, or just t=
hose
pertaining to the code being copied.
