I dont care much what the headers say as long as its not outright
missleading.

also an alternative to this patchset would be to remove both libav
and ffmpeg from the license headers

The question is what does the community and the authors prefer?

also, using the linux source
git grep -li 'Copyright' | wc
  27234   27234  871728
git grep -ii 'This file is part of ' | wc
    591    6356   47769
