You find the justification in the comments in the 'check-copyright-headers' script, lines 19..66 and 119..122. |

However, https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html says something different on this topic: "If a file has been explicitly placed in the public domain, then instead of a copyright notice, it should have a notice saying explicitly that it is in the public domain." |

A quick check reveals a lot of files missing valid copyright or license notices, I attach a list of files against current git HEAD.

Added list, #45167 |
I don't think lines 19..66 contain complete set of reasons behind the policy of having copyright and license notices for every file. If they were, files like ChangeLog wouldn't need notices, and GNU documentation explicitly says they should have them.
