One reason is that there are some files which refer to COPYING whose
license text we can not change. For instance, parts of sim are
copyright Andrew Cagney rather than the FSF - and I believe other
simulators are copyright various corporations. They're all "version 2
or later", so it is not a problem, but we do not have authority to
change the license statements in them.
