Thank you for the awesome summary, it is very helpful! So since the boilerplate has to stay, is there a benefit to adding the SPDX header? Is it just to make scripting/scraping easier?

Actually, the header now adds the correct information. Without the header it is not clear that these files are supposed to be dual licensed under MIT or GPL-2.

And yes, it of course simplifies tooling as well, which is why there is a push to get these headers broadly added to many open source projects.
