IANAL but I believe you meant "...they should contain a BSD 2 clause
*license*". The files should contain a valid copyright.

The intent of my commit and the author were to use the implied SPDX version
of the licenses without burdening the source code with the more heavyweight
license text. Having seen SPDX in the src tree, I believed
the SPDX-License-Identifier was sufficient. But, to your point, I'm not
sure I have seen a discussion or a decision on it.
