Subject: [PATCH] chore: remove license-header enforcement tooling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

These are GitHub template repos ("Use this template" copies the whole tree), so the committed script and the CI check were inherited by every project created from the template and had to be removed there.

Delete scripts/license_header.py and the CI lint step that ran it. The SPDX headers and NOTICE are unchanged — only the enforcement automation is removed; headers on new files are added by hand going forward.

-Usage:
-    python scripts/license_header.py --check    verify every tracked .py file (CI)
-    python scripts/license_header.py --fix      add the header where missing

-Default mode is --check. Re-running is safe: a file that already carries an
-SPDX identifier in its first lines is left untouched (idempotent), so the CI
