No, this is not the current practice.
Instead replace this with proper SPDX header.

You are correct. On top of that, my initial view of a spelling issue was wrong.
Due to [1] I now see it as a legal issue as it would (technically) change the
license, which I don't know how and I think I also can't resolve.
Consequently I want to retract my patch.

Sorry for the noise.
