remove that from LICENSES/.
Ref: #9220Closes#9291
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869

resurrected from Git history.

Instead of discussing if there's value or meaning (implied or not) in
the colors, let's use words without the same possibly negative
associations.
Closes#5546
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
