I talked with Thomas and he is not in favour of a removal of the licence 
text. Not everyone knows what an SPDX-Licence-Identifier is and that 
this means the file is covered by the reference license. The 
BSD-2-Clause license text is quite clear and not long. For us it is 
important that it is very clear that our contributions are without 
warranties and so on. This information should be also clear if files are 
transferred out of the RTEMS context to other projects.
