@vinodkoul you cannot remove the Intel Copyright.
Copyright is a different concept to the license. It's fine to use SPDX for the license, the copyright needs to stay as is.

@plbossart If you look closely, the copyright is retained in src file where IMO it is apt. Here in COPYING file it feels a copy paste mistake, hence removal.

Some of these COPYING files only provide the license, others combine license and copyright. I don't know what the rule is and I am not a lawyer, so when in doubt I am asking you to please keep the copyright as is. It may be a mistake but that's not for me to approve.
